A function can be marked as norecurse if:
* The SCC to which it belongs has cardinality 1; and either
a) It does not call any non-norecurse function. This includes self-recursion; or
b) It only has one callsite and the function that callsite is within is marked norecurse.
a) is best propagated bottom-up and b) is best propagated top-down.
We build up the norecurse attributes bottom-up using the existing SCC pass, and mark functions with no obvious recursion (but not provably norecurse) to sweep later, top-down.

attribute and function argument attribute synthesizing and propagating.
As with the other uses of this attribute, the goal remains a best-effort
(no guarantees) attempt to not optimize the function or assume things
about the function when optimizing. This is particularly useful for
compiler testing, bisecting miscompiles, triaging things, etc. I was
hitting specific issues using optnone to isolate test code from a test
driver for my fuzz testing, and this is one step of fixing that.
