Clang currently automates a fair amount of diagnostic checking for
declaration attributes based on the declarations in Attr.td. It checks
for things like subject appertainment, number of arguments, language
options, etc. This patch uses the same machinery to perform diagnostic
checking on statement attributes.
Before this commit, expression statements could not be annotated
with statement attributes. Whenever parser found attribute, it
unconditionally assumed that it was followed by a declaration.
This not only doesn't allow expression attributes to have attributes,
but also produces spurious error diagnostics.
In order to maintain all previously compiled code, we still assume
that GNU attributes are followed by declarations unless ALL of those
are statement attributes. And even in this case we are not forcing
the parser to think that it should parse a statement, but rather
let it proceed as if no attributes were found.
