Calling convention attributes notionally appertain to the function type -- they modify the mangling of the function, change the behavior of assignment operations, etc. This commit allows the calling convention attributes to be written in the type position as well as the declaration position.

this fixes http://llvm.org/PR17424
fillAttributedTypeLoc() function is only called with AttributeLists of either
DeclarationChunk (which is used for each type in a declarator being parsed) or
DeclSpec (which captures information about declaration specifiers).
As C++11 attributes actually appertain to declarators, they are moved straight
to the declarator’s attr list in distributeFunctionTypeAttrFromDeclSpec()
function.
'Put them wherever you like' semantics is not supported for C++11 attributes
(but is allowed for GNU attributes, for example). So when we meet an attribute
while parsing the declaration, we cannot be sure if it appertains to either
DeclarationChunk or DeclSpec.
This investigation correlates with the history of changes of SemaType.cpp:
• Asserts in fillAttributedTypeLoc() were added on 3 Mar 2011 in r126986
(http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/cfe-commits/Week-of-Mon-
20110228/039638.html);
• Distributing C++11 attrs to the declarator was added on 14 Jan 2013
in r172504 (http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/cfe-commits/Week-of-Mon-
20130114/071830.html).
Considering all written above I changed asserts in fillAttributedTypeLoc()
to nullptr checks.
This fixes PR17424 and related assertion on
[[gnu::fastcall]] void __stdcall foo();

We'd give the VarDecl a CXXConstructExpr even though it is annotated
with an alias attribute. This would make us trip over sanity checking
asserts.
This fixes PR22493.

the diagnostic's warn_ name. Switch some places (notably C++11 attributes)
which really wanted an error over to a different diagnostic. Finally, suppress
the diagnostic entirely for __ptr32, __ptr64 and __w64, to avoid producing
diagnostics in important system headers.

attributes appertain to a declaration, even though they would be much more
naturally modelled as appertaining to a function type. Previously, we would
try to distribute them from the declarator to the function type, then
reject them for being at an incorrect location. Now, we just distribute them
as far as the declarator; the existing attribute handling code can actually
apply them there just fine.
