Thinlink provides an opportunity to propagate function attributes across modules, enabling additional propagation opportunities.
This change propagates (currently default off, turn on with `disable-thinlto-funcattrs=1`) noRecurse and noUnwind based off of function summaries of the prevailing functions in bottom-up call-graph order. Testing on clang self-build:
1. There's a 35-40% increase in noUnwind functions due to the additional propagation opportunities.
2. Throughput is measured at 10-15% increase in thinlink time which itself is 1.5% of E2E link time.
Implementation-wise this adds the following summary function attributes:
1. noUnwind: function is noUnwind
2. mayThrow: function contains a non-call instruction that `Instruction::mayThrow` returns true on (e.g. windows SEH instructions)
3. hasUnknownCall: function contains calls that don't make it into the summary call-graph thus should not be propagated from (e.g. indirect for now, could add no-opt functions as well)
Testing:
Clang self-build passes and 2nd stage build passes check-all
ninja check-all with newly added tests passing

Summary: A user can force a function to be inlined by specifying the always_inline attribute. Currently, thinlto implementation is not aware of always_inline functions and does not guarantee import of such functions, which in turn can prevent inlining of such functions.

It's possible that some function can load and store the same
variable using the same constant expression:
store %Derived* @foo, %Derived** bitcast (%Base** @bar to %Derived**)
%42 = load %Derived*, %Derived** bitcast (%Base** @bar to %Derived**)
The bitcast expression was mistakenly cached while processing loads,
and never examined later when processing store. This caused @bar to
be mistakenly treated as read-only variable. See load-store-caching.ll.

This reverts r365040 (git commit 5cacb91475)
Speculatively reverting, since this appears to have broken check-lld on
Linux. Partial analysis in https://crbug.com/981168.
