Generalise support for non-inheritable attributes
Inheritable attributes on declarations may be inherited by any later redeclaration at merge time. By contrast, a non-inheritable attribute will not be inherited by later redeclarations. Non-inheritable attributes may be semantically analysed early, allowing them to influence the redeclaration/overloading process. Before this change, the "overloadable" attribute received special handling to be treated as non-inheritable, while all other attributes were treated as inheritable. This patch generalises the concept, while removing a FIXME. Some CUDA location attributes are also marked as non-inheritable in order to support special overloading semantics (to be introduced in a later patch). The patch introduces a new Attr subclass, InheritableAttr, from which all inheritable attributes derive. Non-inheritable attributes simply derive from Attr. N.B. I did not review every attribute to determine whether it should be marked non-inheritable. This can be done later on an incremental basis, as this change does not affect default functionality. llvm-svn: 123959
