// This pass replaces all accesses to constant buffer global variables with
// accesses to the proper SPIR-V resource.
//
// The pass operates as follows:
// 1. It finds all constant buffers by looking for the `!hlsl.cbs` metadata.
// 2. For each cbuffer, it finds the global variable holding the resource handle
//    and the global variables for each of the cbuffer's members.
// 3. For each member variable, it creates a call to the
//    `llvm.spv.resource.getpointer` intrinsic. This intrinsic takes the
//    resource handle and the member's index within the cbuffer as arguments.
//    The result is a pointer to that member within the SPIR-V resource.
// 4. It then replaces all uses of the original member global variable with the
//    pointer returned by the `getpointer` intrinsic. This effectively retargets
//    all loads and GEPs to the new resource pointer.
// 5. Finally, it cleans up by deleting the original global variables and the
//    `!hlsl.cbs` metadata.
//
// This approach allows subsequent passes, like SPIRVEmitIntrinsics, to
// correctly handle GEPs that operate on the result of the `getpointer` call,
// folding them into a single OpAccessChain instruction.
