Summary:
This is similar to other loop pragmas like 'vectorize'. Currently it
only has state values: distribute(enable) and distribute(disable). When
one of these is specified the corresponding loop metadata is generated:
!{!"llvm.loop.distribute.enable", i1 true/false}
As a result, loop distribution will be attempted on the loop even if
Loop Distribution in not enabled globally. Analogously, with 'disable'
distribution can be turned off for an individual loop even when the pass
is otherwise enabled.
There are some slight differences compared to the existing loop pragmas.
1. There is no 'assume_safety' variant which makes its handling slightly
different from 'vectorize'/'interleave'.
2. Unlike the existing loop pragmas, it does not have a corresponding
numeric pragma like 'vectorize' -> 'vectorize_width'. So for the
consistency checks in CheckForIncompatibleAttributes we don't need to
check it against other pragmas. We just need to check for duplicates of
the same pragma.

When ‘#pragma clang loop vectorize(assume_safety)’ was specified on a loop other loop hints were lost. The problem is that CGLoopInfo attaches metadata differently than EmitCondBrHints in CGStmt. For do-loops CGLoopInfo attaches metadata to the br in the body block and for while and for loops, the inc block. EmitCondBrHints on the other hand always attaches data to the br in the cond block. When specifying assume_safety CGLoopInfo emits an empty llvm.loop metadata shadowing the metadata in the cond block. Loop transformations like rotate and unswitch would then eliminate the cond block and its non-empty metadata.
This patch unifies both approaches for adding metadata and modifies the existing safety tests to include non-assume_safety loop hints.
