Similar to how ICC handles CPU-Dispatch on Windows, this patch uses the
resolver function directly to forward the call to the proper function.
This is not nearly as efficient as IFuncs of course, but is still quite
useful for large functions specifically developed for certain
processors.
This is unfortunately still limited to x86, since it depends on
__builtin_cpu_supports and __builtin_cpu_is, which are x86 builtins.
The naming for the resolver/forwarding function for cpu-dispatch was
taken from ICC's implementation, which uses the unmodified name for this
(no mangling additions). This is possible, since cpu-dispatch uses '.A'
for the 'default' version.
In 'target' multiversioning, this function keeps the '.resolver'
extension in order to keep the default function keeping the default
mangling.

GCC's attribute 'target', in addition to being an optimization hint,
also allows function multiversioning. We currently have the former
implemented, this is the latter's implementation.
This works by enabling functions with the same name/signature to coexist,
so that they can all be emitted. Multiversion state is stored in the
FunctionDecl itself, and SemaDecl manages the definitions.
Note that it ends up having to permit redefinition of functions so
that they can all be emitted. Additionally, all versions of the function
must be emitted, so this also manages that.
Note that this includes some additional rules that GCC does not, since
defining something as a MultiVersion function after a usage has been made illegal.
The only 'history rewriting' that happens is if a function is emitted before
it has been converted to a multiversion'ed function, at which point its name
needs to be changed.
Function templates and virtual functions are NOT yet supported (not supported
in GCC either).
Additionally, constructors/destructors are disallowed, but the former is
planned.
