codegen: Fix va_list - aarch64 iOS/Windows

## Summary

Fix code generated for `VaList` on Aarch64 iOS/Windows.

## Details

According to the [Apple - ARM64 Function Calling Conventions]:

> ... the type va_list is an alias for char * rather than for the struct
> type specified in the generic PCS.

The current implementation uses the generic Aarch64 structure for `VaList`
for Aarch64 iOS. Switch to using the `char *` variant of the `VaList`
and use the corresponding `emit_ptr_va_arg` for the `va_arg` intrinsic.

Windows always uses the `char *` variant of the `VaList`. Update the `va_arg`
intrinsic to use `emit_ptr_va_arg`.

The codegen crate contains the code to convert from MIR into LLVM IR, and then from LLVM IR into machine code. In general it contains code that runs towards the end of the compilation process.

For more information about how codegen works, see the rustc guide.
