LOG: [IR] Deprecate PointerType::get/getUnqual pointee type overload (#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.

>From what my clangd can tell, there are no usages left in the monorepo
