This is cleaning up comments (mostly in the bitcode handling) about
removing some backward compatibility aspect in the 4.0 release.
Historically, "4.0" was used during the development of the 3.x
versions as "this future major breaking change version". At the time
the major number was used to indicate the compatibility. When we
reached 3.9 we decided to change the numbering, instead of going to
3.10 we went to 4.0 but after changing the meaning of the major
number to not mean anything anymore with respect to bitcode backward
compatibility.
The current policy
(https://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html#ir-backwards-compatibility)
indicates only now:
The current LLVM version supports loading any bitcode since version 3.0.

Summary:
This class is a list of AttributeSetNodes corresponding the function
prototype of a call or function declaration. This class used to be
called ParamAttrListPtr, then AttrListPtr, then AttributeSet. It is
typically accessed by parameter and return value index, so
"AttributeList" seems like a more intuitive name.
Rename AttributeSetImpl to AttributeListImpl to follow suit.
It's useful to rename this class so that we can rename AttributeSetNode
to AttributeSet later. AttributeSet is the set of attributes that apply
to a single function, argument, or return value.

This is based on Bill Wendling's email. No additional content has been added,
but now there's a place for Attributes to capture future information.
