Stack Smash Protection is not completely free, so in hot code, the overhead it causes can cause performance issues. By adding diagnostic information for which functions have SSP and why, a user can quickly determine what they can do to stop SSP being applied to a specific hot function.
This change adds a remark that is reported by the stack protection code when an instruction or attribute is encountered that causes SSP to be applied.

This change adds an SSP-specific DiagnosticInfo class and uses of it to the Stack Protection code. A subsequent change to clang will cause the remarks to be emitted when enabled.
