Related to: runtimeverification/llvm-backend#999
We are working on removing the backwards dependency from the LLVM backend to K; as part of that change we are removing usages of the frontend error handling mechanisms from the backend: runtimeverification/llvm-backend#1001
Doing so requires that we implement a translation layer from the new error types in runtimeverification/llvm-backend#1001 to the frontend infrastructure; by doing so we can recover the frontend's original behaviour in response to errors / warnings thrown or created during pattern matching.
This PR can be reviewed as-is in combination with the backend PR above; I will take care of the required lockstep merging to get both changes landed to the frontend together.
