[NVPTX] Add Intrinsics for discard.* (#128404)

[NVPTX] Add  Intrinsics for discard.*
This PR adds intrinsics for all variations of discard.*

* These intrinsics supports generic or global for all variations.
* The lowering is handled from nvvm to nvptx tablegen directly.
* Lit tests are added as part of discard.ll
* The generated PTX is verified with a 12.3 ptxas executable.
* Added docs for these intrinsics in NVPTXUsage.rst.

+Overview:
+"""""""""
+
+The *effects* of the ``@llvm.nvvm.discard.L2*`` intrinsics are those of a non-atomic 
+non-volatile ``llvm.memset`` that writes ``undef`` to the destination 
+address range ``[%ptr, %ptr + immarg)``. The ``%ptr`` must be aligned by 128 bytes.
+Subsequent reads from the address range may read ``undef`` until the memory is overwritten 
+with a different value.
+These operations *hint* the implementation that data in the L2 cache can be destructively 
+discarded without writing it back to memory. 
+The operand ``immarg`` is an integer constant that specifies the length in bytes of the 
+address range ``[%ptr, %ptr + immarg)`` to write ``undef`` into. 
+The only supported value for the ``immarg`` operand is ``128``. 
+If generic addressing is used and the specified address does not fall within the 
+address window of global memory (``addrspace(1)``) the behavior is undefined.
+
+.. code-block:: llvm

+   %b = load i64, ptr %p  ;; loads 8 bytes containing undef
+   ;; comparing %a and %b compares `undef` values!
+   %fa = freeze i64 %a  ;; freezes undef to stable bit-pattern
+   %fb = freeze i64 %b  ;; freezes undef to stable bit-pattern
+   ;; %fa may compare different to %fb!
