This deprecates `PointerType::getElementType()` in favor of `Type::getPointerElementType()`. The motivation is to make it more apparent when code accesses the pointer element type, because `getElementType()` may also also refer to at least `ArrayType::getElementType()` and `VectorType::getElementType()`.

Note that this is only a partial change -- if the general idea is agreeable, I'm going to convert uses of `PointerType::getElementType()` first, and then commit the actual deprecation as a separate change lateron. The current revision is just to give a general impression.

Depends on D117870 <https://reviews.llvm.org/D117870>.
