Consider a callee function that has a call (C) within it which feeds
into the return. When we inline that callee into a callsite that has
return attributes, we can backward propagate valid attributes to the
call (C) within that inlined callee body.
This is safe to do so only if we can guarantee transfer of execution to
successor in the window of instructions between return value (i.e. the
call C) and the return instruction.
Also, this is valid only for attributes which are a property of a
callsite and not those that are not dependent on the ABI, or a property
of the call itself.

This reverts commit 28518d9ae3.
There is a failure in MsgPackReader.cpp when built with clang. It
complains about "signext and zeroext" are incompatible. Investigating
offline if it is infact a UB in the MsgPackReader code.

See added test cases.
