Summary:
This patch introduces two new function attributes
InaccessibleMemOnly: This attribute indicates that the function may only access memory that is not accessible by the program/IR being compiled. This is a weaker form of ReadNone.
inaccessibleMemOrArgMemOnly: This attribute indicates that the function may only access memory that is either not accessible by the program/IR being compiled, or is pointed to by its pointer arguments. This is a weaker form of ArgMemOnly
Test cases have been updated. This revision uses this (d001932f3a) as reference.

This attribute allows the compiler to assume that the function never recurses into itself, either directly or indirectly (transitively). This can be used among other things to demote global variables to locals.
