In C99, an array parameter declarator might have the form:
direct-declarator '[' 'static' type-qual-list[opt] assign-expr ']'
where the static keyword indicates that the caller will always provide a
pointer to the beginning of an array with at least the number of elements
specified by the assignment expression. For constant sizes, we can use the
new dereferenceable attribute to pass this information to the optimizer. For
VLAs, we don't know the size, but (for addrspace(0)) do know that the pointer
must be nonnull (and so we can use the nonnull attribute).

type as written from the ParmVarDecl; it's unclear whether the standard
(C99 6.9.1p10) requires this, but we're following the precedent set by gcc,
and hopefully nobody will ever ask about this again.

arithmetic on a VLA as 'nsw', per discussion with djg, and
implement pointer arithmetic (other than array accesses) and
pointer subtraction for VLA types.

- This is designed to make it obvious that %clang_cc1 is a "test variable"
which is substituted. It is '%clang_cc1' instead of '%clang -cc1' because it
can be useful to redefine what gets run as 'clang -cc1' (for example, to set
a default target).

simple test that actually does VLA codegen.
Note that despite the fact that the alloca isn't in the entry block, it
should dominate all uses; this is guaranteed by the restrictions on goto
into VLA scope in C99.
