Summary:
There are cases where the same string or select is repeated verbatim in a lot of diagnostics. This can be a pain to maintain and update. Tablegen provides no way stash the common text somewhere and reuse it in the diagnostics, until now!
This patch allows diagnostic texts to contain `%sub{<definition-name>}`, where `<definition-name>` names a Tablegen record of type `TextSubstitution`. These substitutions are done early, before the diagnostic string is otherwise processed. All `%sub` modifiers will be replaced before the diagnostic definitions are emitted.
The substitution must specify all arguments used by the substitution, and modifier indexes in the substitution are re-numbered accordingly. For example:
```
def select_ovl_candidate : TextSubstitution<"%select{function|constructor}0%select{| template| %2}1">;
```
when used as
```
"candidate `%sub{select_ovl_candidate}3,2,1 not viable"
```
will act as if we wrote:
```
"candidate %select{function|constructor}3%select{| template| %1}2 not viable"
```

I'd be interested if the paragraph on Parse not knowing much about AST is
something folks agree with. I think this used to be true after rjmccall removed
the Action interface in r112244 and I believe it's still true, but I'm not sure.
(For example, ParseOpenMP.cpp does include AST/StmtOpenMP.h. Other than that,
Parse not using AST nodes much seems to be still true, though.)

StmtDumper.cpp is called ASTDumper.cpp these days, and usually works well
for new AST nodes without changes. There's now DataRecursiveASTVisitor
in addition to RecursiveASTVisitor, and serialization wasn't mentioned.

A 'remark' is information that is not an error or a warning, but rather some
additional information provided to the user. In contrast to a 'note' a 'remark'
is an independent diagnostic, whereas a 'note' always depends on another
diagnostic.
A typical use case for remark nodes is information provided to the user, e.g.
information provided by the vectorizer about loops that have been vectorized.
This patch provides the initial implementation of 'remarks'. It includes the
actual definiton of the remark nodes, their printing as well as basic parameter
handling. We are reusing the existing diagnostic parameters which means a remark
can be enabled with normal '-Wdiagnostic-name' flags and can be upgraded to
an error using '-Werror=diagnostic-name'. '-Werror' alone does not upgrade
remarks.
This patch is by intention minimal in terms of parameter handling. More
experience and more discussions will most likely lead to further enhancements
in the parameter handling.

This patch adds some very, very sparse initial documentation for some attributes. Additional effort from attribute authors is greatly appreciated.
