Summary:
This is similar to other loop pragmas like 'vectorize'. Currently it
only has state values: distribute(enable) and distribute(disable). When
one of these is specified the corresponding loop metadata is generated:
!{!"llvm.loop.distribute.enable", i1 true/false}
As a result, loop distribution will be attempted on the loop even if
Loop Distribution in not enabled globally. Analogously, with 'disable'
distribution can be turned off for an individual loop even when the pass
is otherwise enabled.
There are some slight differences compared to the existing loop pragmas.
1. There is no 'assume_safety' variant which makes its handling slightly
different from 'vectorize'/'interleave'.
2. Unlike the existing loop pragmas, it does not have a corresponding
numeric pragma like 'vectorize' -> 'vectorize_width'. So for the
consistency checks in CheckForIncompatibleAttributes we don't need to
check it against other pragmas. We just need to check for duplicates of
the same pragma.

Getting accurate locations for loops is important, because those locations are
used by the frontend to generate optimization remarks. Currently, optimization
remarks for loops often appear on the wrong line, often the first line of the
loop body instead of the loop itself. This is confusing because that line might
itself be another loop, or might be somewhere else completely if the body was
an inlined function call. This happens because of the way we find the loop's
starting location. First, we look for a preheader, and if we find one, and its
terminator has a debug location, then we use that. Otherwise, we look for a
location on an instruction in the loop header.
The fallback heuristic is not bad, but will almost always find the beginning of
the body, and not the loop statement itself. The preheader location search
often fails because there's often not a preheader, and even when there is a
preheader, depending on how it was formed, it sometimes carries the location of
some preceeding code.
I don't see any good theoretical way to fix this problem. On the other hand,
this seems like a straightforward solution: Put the debug location in the
loop's llvm.loop metadata. When emitting debug information, this commit causes
us to add the debug location as an operand to each loop's llvm.loop metadata.
Thus, we now generate this metadata for all loops (not just loops with
optimization hints) when we're otherwise generating debug information.
The remark test case changes depend on the companion LLVM commit r270771.

This change adds the new unroll metadata "llvm.loop.unroll.enable" which directs
the optimizer to unroll a loop fully if the trip count is known at compile time, and
unroll partially if the trip count is not known at compile time. This differs from
"llvm.loop.unroll.full" which explicitly does not unroll a loop if the trip count is not
known at compile time
With this change "#pragma unroll" generates "llvm.loop.unroll.enable" rather than
"llvm.loop.unroll.full" metadata. This changes the semantics of "#pragma unroll" slightly
to mean "unroll aggressively (fully or partially)" rather than "unroll fully or not at all".
The motivating example for this change was some internal code with a loop marked
with "#pragma unroll" which only sometimes had a compile-time trip count depending
on template magic. When the trip count was a compile-time constant, everything works
as expected and the loop is fully unrolled. However, when the trip count was not a
compile-time constant the "#pragma unroll" explicitly disabled unrolling of the loop(!).
Removing "#pragma unroll" caused the loop to be unrolled partially which was desirable
from a performance perspective.

When ‘#pragma clang loop vectorize(assume_safety)’ was specified on a loop other loop hints were lost. The problem is that CGLoopInfo attaches metadata differently than EmitCondBrHints in CGStmt. For do-loops CGLoopInfo attaches metadata to the br in the body block and for while and for loops, the inc block. EmitCondBrHints on the other hand always attaches data to the br in the cond block. When specifying assume_safety CGLoopInfo emits an empty llvm.loop metadata shadowing the metadata in the cond block. Loop transformations like rotate and unswitch would then eliminate the cond block and its non-empty metadata.
This patch unifies both approaches for adding metadata and modifies the existing safety tests to include non-assume_safety loop hints.

Specifying #pragma clang loop vectorize(assume_safety) on a loop adds the
mem.parallel_loop_access metadata to each load/store operation in the loop. This
metadata tells loop access analysis (LAA) to skip memory dependency checking.

[Clang part]
These patches rename the loop unrolling and loop vectorizer metadata
such that they have a common 'llvm.loop.' prefix. Metadata name
changes:
llvm.vectorizer.* => llvm.loop.vectorizer.*
llvm.loopunroll.* => llvm.loop.unroll.*
This was a suggestion from an earlier review
(http://reviews.llvm.org/D4090) which added the loop unrolling
metadata.

It also adds a simple initial version of codegen for pragma omp simd (it will change in the future to support all the clauses).
