The behaviour of the XCore's instruction buffer means that the performance
of the same code sequence can differ depending on whether it starts at a 4
byte aligned address or not. Since we don't model the instruction buffer
in the backend we have no way of knowing for sure if it is beneficial to
word align a specific function. However, in the absence of precise
modelling, it is better on balance to word align functions because:
* It makes a fetch-nop while executing the prologue slightly less likely.
* If we don't word align functions then a small perturbation in one
function can have a dramatic knock on effect. If the size of the function
changes it might change the alignment and therefore the performance of
all the functions that happen to follow it in the binary. This butterfly
effect makes it harder to reason about and measure the performance of
code.

The 'f' modifier is designed for integer type arguments really (according to
its documentation). It's better to use the "half width, same number" modifier.
Should be no user-visible change.

just "load". This helps avoid pointless de-duping with order-sensitive
numbers as we already have unique names from the original load. It also
makes the resulting IR quite a bit easier to read.

the pointer adjustment code. This is the primary code path that creates
totally new instructions in SROA and being able to lump them based on
the pointer value's name for which they were created causes
*significantly* fewer name collisions and general noise in the debug
output. This is particularly significant because it is making it much
harder to track down instability in the output of SROA, as name
de-duplication is a totally harmless form of instability that gets in
the way of seeing real problems.
The new fancy naming scheme tries to dig out the root "pre-SROA" name
for pointer values and associate that all the way through the pointer
formation instructions. Digging out the root is important to prevent the
multiple iterative rounds of SROA from just layering too much cruft on
top of cruft here. We already track the layers of SROAs iteration in the
alloca name prefix. We don't need to duplicate it here.
Should have no functionality change, and shouldn't have any really
measurable impact on NDEBUG builds, as most of the complex logic is
debug-only.

using OldPtr more heavily. Lots of this code was written before the
rewriter had an OldPtr member setup ahead of time. There are already
asserts in place that should ensure this doesn't change any
functionality.

The __forceinline keyword's semantics are now recast as AlwaysInline and
the kw___forceinline token has its language mode set for KEYMS.
This preserves the semantics of the previous implementation but with
less duplication of code.

the break statement, not just think it to yourself....
No idea how this worked at all, much less survived most bots, my
bootstrap, and some bot bootstraps!
The Polly one didn't survive, and this was filed as PR18959. I don't
have a reduced test case and honestly I'm not seeing the need. What we
probably need here are better asserts / debug-build behavior in
SmallPtrSet so that this madness doesn't make it so far.

Add documentation for these attributes, it includes:
- Motivation for their existence.
- Examples on how to use them.
- Examples on how to misuse them.
