Use static allocas for temporaries. (#5734)

Previously we created allocas for temporaries at whatever point in the
output LLVM function we'd reached. This would result in these being
dynamic allocas (performing a dynamic stack allocation), which is
inefficent and can lead to a stack overflow if it happens in a loop.

Switch to putting the allocas in the entry block instead, and instead
generate a lifetime start marker when we reach the point where the
temporary is introduced. We already did this for local variables; this
is just factoring out and reusing that code.
