[clang][CodeGen] Lower Likelihood attributes to @llvm.expect intrin instead of branch weights
08196e0b2e exposed LowerExpectIntrinsic's
internal implementation detail in the form of
LikelyBranchWeight/UnlikelyBranchWeight options to the outside.

While this isn't incorrect from the results viewpoint,
this is suboptimal from the layering viewpoint,
and causes confusion - should transforms also use those weights,
or should they use something else, D98898?

So go back to status quo by making LikelyBranchWeight/UnlikelyBranchWeight
internal again, and fixing all the code that used it directly,
which currently is only clang codegen, thankfully,
to emit proper @llvm.expect intrinsics instead.

Atmn Patel ac73b73c16 [clang] Add mustprogress and llvm.loop.mustprogress attribute deduction
Since C++11, the C++ standard has a forward progress guarantee
[intro.progress], so all such functions must have the `mustprogress`
requirement. In addition, from C11 and onwards, loops without a non-zero
constant conditional or no conditional are also required to make
progress (C11 6.8.5p6). This patch implements these attribute deductions
so they can be used by the optimization passes.

Mark de Wever b46fddf75f [CodeGen] Implement [[likely]] and [[unlikely]] for while and for loop.
The attribute has no effect on a do statement since the path of execution
will always include its substatement.

It adds a diagnostic when the attribute is used on an infinite while loop
since the codegen omits the branch here. Since the likelihood attributes
have no effect on a do statement no diagnostic will be issued for
do [[unlikely]] {...} while(0);
