When the return value of the function is a structure, the ABI might require that the caller pass the structure into the function call as an implicit input argument; in such cases the generated IR for the argument will have the sret attribute. Similarly, pass-by-value arguments are given the byval attribute in the IR. Since the adoption of opaque pointers, such attributes are required to be accompanied with the pointee type. This patch fixes flang2 to generate correct IR for such argument/return types.
Fixes #1419.
