LLVM codegen: Don't emit zero-sized padding for fields

Currently padding is emitted before fields of a struct and at the end of the struct regardless of the ABI. Even if no padding is required zero-sized padding fields are emitted. This is not useful and - more importantly - it make it impossible to generate the exact vector types that LLVM expects for certain ARM SIMD intrinsics. This change should unblock the implementation of many ARM intrinsics using the `unadjusted` ABI, see https://github.com/rust-lang/stdarch/issues/1143#issuecomment-827404092.

This is a proof of concept only because the field lookup now takes O(number of fields) time compared to O(1) before since it recalculates the mapping at every lookup. I would like to find out how big the performance impact actually is before implementing caching or restricting this behavior to the `unadjusted` ABI.
