API simplification - rather than having a bunch of overloads, there's now
just one "CreateCall" function that takes an ArrayRef (actually it was
there before) and can be passed an init list {} of arguments.

The motivation was that I needed to add some overloads (one taking a
Function, another taking a Type and Value) for my work on opacifying
pointer types and didn't want to deal with adding them to each of the
CreateCallN overloads.

FWIW: LLVM's C++ API has no stability guarantees, there are breaking
changes in every commit.
