  -----------
  Fix a bug passing records by value in indirect calls.

For indirect calls, structs (static-sized records & arrays) passed
by value didn't get the llvm byval attribute, which causes llvm to
insert call-site copy.  Worked for direct calls.  Indirect calls
in cm3 IR do not have enough information to know when to add byval.

Changed to do away altogether with the byval attribute and instead
generate explicit call-site code to make the copy, in pop_struct.
