This makes use of the recently-added @llvm.assume intrinsic to implement a
__builtin_assume(bool) intrinsic (to provide additional information to the
optimizer). This hooks up __assume in MS-compatibility mode to mirror
__builtin_assume (the semantics have been intentionally kept compatible), and
implements GCC's __builtin_assume_aligned as assume((p - o) & mask == 0). LLVM
now contains special logic to deal with assumptions of this form.

This is a follow-up to an IRC conversation with Richard last night; __assume
does not evaluate its argument, and so the argument should not contribute to
whether (__assume(e), constant) can be used where a constant is required.
llvm-svn: 213267
In MS-compatibility mode, we support the __assume builtin. The __assume builtin
does not evaluate its arguments, and we should issue a warning if __assume is
provided with an argument with side effects (because these effects will be
discarded).
This is similar in spirit to the warnings issued by other compilers (Intel
Diagnostic 2261, MS Compiler Warning C4557).
