Old GCC used to aggressively fold VLAs to constant-bound arrays at block
scope in GNU mode. That's non-conforming, and more modern versions of
GCC only do this at file scope. Update Clang to do the same.
Also promote the warning for this from off-by-default to on-by-default
in all cases; more recent versions of GCC likewise warn on this by
default.
This is still slightly more permissive than GCC, as pointed out in
PR44406, as we still fold VLAs to constant arrays in structs, but that
seems justifiable given that we don't support VLA-in-struct (and don't
intend to ever support it), but GCC does.

This makes use of the recently-added @llvm.assume intrinsic to implement a
__builtin_assume(bool) intrinsic (to provide additional information to the
optimizer). This hooks up __assume in MS-compatibility mode to mirror
__builtin_assume (the semantics have been intentionally kept compatible), and
implements GCC's __builtin_assume_aligned as assume((p - o) & mask == 0). LLVM
now contains special logic to deal with assumptions of this form.

This is a follow-up to an IRC conversation with Richard last night; __assume
does not evaluate its argument, and so the argument should not contribute to
whether (__assume(e), constant) can be used where a constant is required.

In MS-compatibility mode, we support the __assume builtin. The __assume builtin
does not evaluate its arguments, and we should issue a warning if __assume is
provided with an argument with side effects (because these effects will be
discarded).
This is similar in spirit to the warnings issued by other compilers (Intel
Diagnostic 2261, MS Compiler Warning C4557).
