Johannes Doerfert 6230d2a2a4 [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.
