Struct-path aware TBAA: uniformize scalar tag and path tag.

For struct-path aware TBAA, we used to use scalar type node as the scalar tag,
which has an incompatible format with the struct path tag. We now use the same
format: base type, access type and offset.

We also uniformize the scalar type node and the struct type node: name, a list
of pairs (offset + pointer to MDNode). For scalar type, we have a single pair.
These are to make implementaiton of aliasing rules easier.
