1. There is now a "PAListPtr" class, which is a smart pointer around
the underlying uniqued parameter attribute list object, and manages
its refcount. It is now impossible to mess up the refcount.
2. PAListPtr is now the main interface to the underlying object, and
the underlying object is now completely opaque.
3. Implementation details like SmallVector and FoldingSet are now no
longer part of the interface.
4. You can create a PAListPtr with an arbitrary sequence of
ParamAttrsWithIndex's, no need to make a SmallVector of a specific
size (you can just use an array or scalar or vector if you wish).
5. All the client code that had to check for a null pointer before
dereferencing the pointer is simplified to just access the
PAListPtr directly.
6. The interfaces for adding attrs to a list and removing them is a
bit simpler.
Phase #2 will rename some stuff (e.g. PAListPtr) and do other less
invasive changes.

that return an opaque type by value, as long as you don't
call it or provide a body (you can take the address of it).
So it is wrong to insist that sret parameters not be an
opaque*. And I guess it is really up to codegen to complain
if someone tries to call such a function. I'm also removing
the analogous check from byval parameters, since I don't
see why we shouldn't allow them as long as no-one tries to
call the function or give it a body.

drop attributes on varargs call arguments. Also, it could generate
invalid IR if the transformed call already had the 'nest' attribute
somewhere (this can never happen for code coming from llvm-gcc,
but it's a theoretical possibility). Fix both problems.

direct calls bails out unless caller and callee have essentially
equivalent parameter attributes. This is illogical - the callee's
attributes should be of no relevance here. Rework the logic, which
incidentally fixes a crash when removed arguments have attributes.
