Parse different attribute syntaxes in arbitrary order
In Clang today, we parse the different attribute syntaxes (__attribute__, __declspec, and [[]]) in a fairly rigid order. This leads to confusion for users when they guess the order incorrectly, and leads to bug reports like PR24559 or necessitates changes like D94788. This patch adds a helper function to allow us to more easily parse attributes in arbitrary order, and then updates all of the places where we would parse two or more different syntaxes in a rigid order to use the helper method. The patch does not attempt to handle Microsoft attributes ([]) because those are ambiguous with other code constructs and we don't have any attributes that use the syntax.
