This allows using annotation in a much more contexts than it currently has.
especially when annotation with template or constexpr.

This patch adds support to the attribute tablegen for specifying a [[]] attribute is allowed in C mode. This patch also adds the annotate attribute to the list of double square bracket attributes we support in C mode.
Eventually, I anticipate that this logic will be reversed (you have to opt out of allowing an attribute in C rather than opting in), but I want to see how the design plays out as more attributes are considered.

i32 __builtin_annotation(i32, string);
Applying it to i64 (e.g., long long) generates the following IR.
trunc i64 {{.*}} to i32
call i32 @llvm.annotation.i32
zext i32 {{.*}} to i64
The redundant truncation and extension make the result difficult to use.
This patch makes __builtin_annotation() generic.
type __builtin_annotation(type, string);
For the i64 example, it simplifies the generated IR to:
call i64 @llvm.annotation.i64

- This is designed to make it obvious that %clang_cc1 is a "test variable"
which is substituted. It is '%clang_cc1' instead of '%clang -cc1' because it
can be useful to redefine what gets run as 'clang -cc1' (for example, to set
a default target).
