Moving code to another function can lead to missed optimization opportunities, because function passes operate on smaller chunks of code, and they cannot figure out all details. One example of missed optimization opportunities after code extraction is information about pointer alignment. The instruction combine pass adds information about pointer alignment to LLVM intrinsic memcpy calls if it can deduce it from the code or if align metadata is added. If this information is not present, then further optimization passes can generate inefficient code. If we add align metadata to extracted pointers, then the instruction combine pass can add the align attribute to the LLVM intrinsic memcpy call and unblock further optimization. Scope of changes: 1. Analyze MLIR map operations. Add information about the alignment of objects that are passed by reference to OpenMP GPU kernels. 2. Propagate alignment information to the outlined by `CodeExtractor` helper functions.
