[llvm] [IR] Deprecate PointerType::get/getUnqual pointee type overload (PR #134517)

[Mats Jun Larsen via llvm-commits]

https://github.com/junlarsen created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/134517

Deprecates the methods and schedules them for removal in the future as
the overloads taking LLVMContext are preferred, as the pointee type
has no meaning in opaque pointers.

Part of #123569
