Problem: LLVM needs more function attributes than currently available (32 bits).
One such proposed attribute is "address_safety", which shows that a function is being checked for address safety (by AddressSanitizer, SAFECode, etc).
Solution:
- extend the Attributes from 32 bits to 64-bits
- wrap the object into a class so that unsigned is never erroneously used instead
- change "unsigned" to "Attributes" throughout the code, including one place in clang.
- the class has no "operator uint64 ()", but it has "uint64_t Raw() " to support packing/unpacking.
- the class has "safe operator bool()" to support the common idiom: if (Attributes attr = getAttrs()) useAttrs(attr);
- The CTOR from uint64_t is marked explicit, so I had to add a few explicit CTOR calls
- Add the new attribute "address_safety". Doing it in the same commit to check that attributes beyond first 32 bits actually work.
- Some of the functions from the Attribute namespace are worth moving inside the class, but I'd prefer to have it as a separate commit.
Tested:
"make check" on Linux (32-bit and 64-bit) and Mac (10.6)
built/run spec CPU 2006 on Linux with clang -O2.
This change will break clang build in lib/CodeGen/CGCall.cpp.
The following patch will fix it.

Register masks will be used as a compact representation of large clobber
lists. Currently, an x86 call instruction has some 40 operands
representing call-clobbered registers. That's more than 1kB of useless
operands per call site.
A register mask operand references a bit mask of call-preserved
registers, everything else is clobbered. The bit mask will typically
come from TargetRegisterInfo::getCallPreservedMask().
By abandoning ImplicitDefs for call-clobbered registers, it also becomes
possible to share call instruction descriptions between calling
conventions, and we can get rid of the WINCALL* instructions.
This patch introduces the new operand kind. Future patches will add
RegMask support to target-independent passes before finally the fixed
clobber lists can be removed from call instruction descriptions.

The registers are placed into the saved registers list in the reverse order,
which is why the original loop was written to loop backwards.

The register allocators don't currently support adding reserved
registers while they are running. Extend the MRI API to keep track of
the set of reserved registers when register allocation started.
Target hooks like hasFP() and needsStackRealignment() can look at this
set to avoid reserving more registers during register allocation.

The command line option should be removed, but not until the feature has
gotten a lot of testing. The ARMConstantIslandPass tends to have subtle
bugs that only show up after a while.

input.
I'm terrible at documentation, so comments and suggestions welcome here.

recent discussions. Poison can't make every value that depends on
it act in maximally undefined ways, because the optimizer may still
hoist code following the usual rules for undef. Make Poison invoke
its full undefined behavior only when it reaches an instruction with
externally visible side effects.
