sparse, llvm: Fix 'void' return type code generation
Jonathan Neuschäfer reports: A simple function like this will compile to the following llvm bitcode: /* C */ void func(void) { return; } /* LLVM */ define i8 @func() { L0: ret void } The return type of the function and the type in the return instruction don't match. I found this inconsistency by running LLVM's bitcode validation on the bitcode produced by sparse-llvm. Move 'void *' special-casing from sym_basetype_type() to sym_ptr_type() to fix the issue.
