[CaptureTracking] Volatile operations only capture address (#201316)
The fact that a volatile access was performed on a certain address is an
observable effect in the abstract machine, so volatile operations
capture the address of the accessed pointer. However, they do not
capture the provenance. This matches what we document in LangRef.

While I'm pretty sure that this models the semantics correctly, I'm
slightly concerned that we might be using the provenance capture here to
paper over some other issue, though nothing specific comes to mind (and
the test changes don't show anything problematic).

// A pointer value is captured if the function makes a copy of any part of the
// pointer that outlives the call. Not being captured means, more or less, that
// the pointer is only dereferenced and not stored in a global. Returning part
// of the pointer as the function return value may or may not count as capturing
// the pointer, depending on the context.
