Currently, when one or more attributes are mutually exclusive, the
developer adding the attribute has to manually emit diagnostics. In
practice, this is highly error prone, especially for declaration
attributes, because such checking is not trivial. Redeclarations
require you to write a "merge" function to diagnose mutually exclusive
attributes and most attributes get this wrong.
This patch introduces a table-generated way to specify that a group of
two or more attributes are mutually exclusive:
def : MutualExclusions<[Attr1, Attr2, Attr3]>;
This works for both statement and declaration attributes (but not type
attributes) and the checking is done either from the common attribute
diagnostic checking code or from within mergeDeclAttribute() when
merging redeclarations.

... instead of prepending it at the beginning (the original behavior
since implemented in r122535 2010-12-23). This builds up an
AttributeList in the the order in which the attributes appear in the
source.
The reverse order caused nodes for attributes in the AST (e.g. LoopHint)
to be in the reverse order, and therefore printed in the wrong order in
-ast-dump. Some TODO comments mention this. The order was explicitly
reversed for enable_if attribute overload resolution and name mangling,
which is not necessary anymore with this patch.
The change unfortunately has some secondary effect, especially on
diagnostic output. In the simplest cases, the CHECK lines or expected
diagnostic were changed to the the new output. If the kind of
error/warning changed, the attributes' order was changed instead.
This unfortunately causes some 'previous occurrence here' hints to be
textually after the main marker. This typically happens when attributes
are merged, but are incompatible to each other. Interchanging the role
of the the main and note SourceLocation will also cause the case where
two different declaration's attributes (in contrast to multiple
attributes of the same declaration) are merged to be reverse. There is
no easy fix because sometimes previous attributes are merged into a new
declaration's attribute list, sometimes new attributes are added to a
previous declaration's attribute list. Since 'previous occurrence here'
pointing to locations after the main marker is not rare, I left the
markers as-is; it is only relevant when the attributes are declared in
the same declaration anyway.

The attrubite is applicable to functions and variables and changes
the linkage of the subject to internal.
This is the same functionality as C-style "static", but applicable to
class methods; and the same as anonymouns namespaces, but can apply
to individual methods of a class.

Currently cold functions are marked with the "optsize" attribute in CodeGen
so they are always optimized for size. The hot attribute is just ignored,
LLVM doesn't have a way to express hotness at the moment.
