Summary:
NOTE: There is a mailing list discussion on this: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2019-December/137632.html
Complemantary to the assumption outliner prototype in D71692, this patch
shows how we could simplify the code emitted for an alignemnt
assumption. The generated code is smaller, less fragile, and it makes it
easier to recognize the additional use as a "assumption use".
As mentioned in D71692 and on the mailing list, we could adopt this
scheme, and similar schemes for other patterns, without adopting the
assumption outlining.

Summary:
This should be mostly NFC - we still lower the same alignment
knowledge to the IR. The main reasoning here is that
this somewhat improves readability of IR like this,
and will improve test coverage in upcoming patch.
Even though the alignment is guaranteed to always be an I-C-E,
we don't always materialize it as llvm's Alignment Attribute because:
1. There may be a non-zero offset
2. We may be sanitizing for alignment
Note that if there already was an IR alignment attribute
on return value, we union them, and thus the alignment
only ever rises.
Also, there is a second relevant clang attribute `AllocAlignAttr`,
so that is why `AbstractAssumeAlignedAttrEmitter` is templated.

The behavior from the original patch has changed, since we're no longer
allowing LLVM to just ignore the alignment. Instead, we're just
assuming the maximum possible alignment.

In addition to __builtin_assume_aligned, GCC also supports an assume_aligned
attribute which specifies the alignment (and optional offset) of a function's
return value. Here we implement support for the assume_aligned attribute by making
use of the @llvm.assume intrinsic.
llvm-svn: 218500
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.
