Reword the definition of the noalias attribute. The intention is for
the noalias argument on function attributes be usable to model the C99 restrict keyword on arguments, and to allow AliasAnalysis to consider a noalias-attributed argument to be an "identified object". To support this, refactor a new "based on" concept out of the current pointer aliasing "associated" concept. This "based on" concept is very similar to (though it is not identical with) the "based on" concept in C99. Also, reword the definition of NoAlias to more closely describe the concept that the optimizer uses. llvm-svn: 107495
