This PR adjust
GenTreeJitIntrinsicto save the base type of SIMD operation as avar_typesand notCorInfoType. This is done to allow SIMD operations on types that are not part of the CIL.Some notes on the changes:
simdBaseJitTypehas been renamed tosimdBaseTypeand most flows that previous had both asimdBaseJitTypeandsimdBaseTypenow only use thesimdBaseType.simdBaseTypeshould now refer to the type returned viaJitType2PreciseVarType.JitType2VarType.gtAuxiliaryJitTypehas been left unchanged. Some new functions have been introduced calledgetCorBaseTypeXXthat keep the original behavior.If we decide to also change
gtAuxiliaryJitTypeI can make the changes and refactor things a bit more.Current opening PR as draft to get a test run.
