Looks good, but the CI failed in the clang tests.

Please investigate

I see ASAN tests are still failing. I'm looking into it now.

LLVM sets the type of the this parameter of virtual method thunks to the
derived class. This was changed for Cheerp in
88d9836 and there are a dozen or so
commits after it to deal with crashes caused by this change. With opaque
pointers, the signature of these thunks won't be different anyways
(the this type will just be an opaque pointer), and going back to
upstream LLVM's behaviour allows us to get rid of some GPETs. This also
affects the type of a downcast instruction in the thunk, but I do not
think this matters much.
