Previously, set_callee() performed some assertions about the type of the
ir_call; protecting the bare pointer ensured these checks would be run.
However, ir_call no longer has a type, so the getter and setter methods
don't actually do anything useful. Remove them in favor of accessing
callee directly, as is done with most other fields in our IR.

Aside from ir_call, our IR is cleanly split into two classes:
- Statements (typeless; used for side effects, control flow)
- Values (deeply nestable, pure, typed expression trees)
Unfortunately, ir_call confused all this:
- For void functions, we placed ir_call directly in the instruction
stream, treating it as an untyped statement. Yet, it was a subclass
of ir_rvalue, and no other ir_rvalue could be used in this way.
- For functions with a return value, ir_call could be placed in
arbitrary expression trees. While this fit naturally with the source
language, it meant that expressions might not be pure, making it
difficult to transform and optimize them. To combat this, we always
emitted ir_call directly in the RHS of an ir_assignment, only using
a temporary variable in expression trees. Many passes relied on this
assumption; the acos and atan built-ins violated it.
This patch makes ir_call a statement (ir_instruction) rather than a
value (ir_rvalue). Non-void calls now take a ir_dereference of a
variable, and store the return value there---effectively a call and
assignment rolled into one. They cannot be embedded in expressions.
All expression trees are now pure, without exception.

This annotation is for an "in" function parameter for which it is only legal
to pass constant expressions. The only known example of this, currently,
is the textureOffset functions.
This should never be used for globals.
