[FuncAttrs] Deduce `noundef` attributes for return values (#76553)

This patch deduces `noundef` attributes for return values.
IIUC, a function returns `noundef` values iff all of its return values
are guaranteed not to be `undef` or `poison`.
Definition of `noundef` from LangRef:
```
noundef
This attribute applies to parameters and return values. If the value representation contains any 
undefined or poison bits, the behavior is undefined. Note that this does not refer to padding 
introduced by the type’s storage representation.
```

and enable more optimizations.
