Remove global basic pointer types #43754

Global pointer types are probably unnecessary, as LLVM provides convenience methods on the Type class to get pointers to integer and floating point types already. However, the global pointer types are persisted throughout codegen, so it's probably worth getting some compile time regressions before committing to just removing the global pointer types without an intermediate caching layer.

Depends on #43752 for integer type removal.
