[Clang][Attr] Introduce the `assume` function attribute
The `assume` attribute is a way to provide additional, arbitrary information to the optimizer. For now, assumptions are restricted to strings which will be accumulated for a function and emitted as comma separated string function attribute. The key of the LLVM-IR function attribute is `llvm.assume`. Similar to `llvm.assume` and `__builtin_assume`, the `assume` attribute provides a user defined assumption to the compiler. A follow up patch will introduce an LLVM-core API to query the assumptions attached to a function. We also expect to add more options, e.g., expression arguments, to the `assume` attribute later on. The `omp [begin] asssumes` pragma will leverage this attribute and expose the functionality in the absence of OpenMP. Reviewed By: aaron.ballman Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D91979
