The personality routine currently lives in the LandingPadInst.
This isn't desirable because:
- All LandingPadInsts in the same function must have the same
personality routine. This means that each LandingPadInst beyond the
first has an operand which produces no additional information.
- There is ongoing work to introduce EH IR constructs other than
LandingPadInst. Moving the personality routine off of any one
particular Instruction and onto the parent function seems a lot better
than have N different places a personality function can sneak onto an
exceptional function.

Before this change, inlining one "invoke" into an outer "invoke" call
site can lead to the outer landingpad's catch/filter clauses being
copied multiple times into the resulting landingpad. This happens:
* when the inlined function contains multiple "resume" instructions,
because forwardResume() copies the clauses but is called multiple
times;
* when the inlined function contains a "resume" and a "call", because
HandleCallsInBlockInlinedThroughInvoke() copies the clauses but is
redundant with forwardResume().
Fix this by deduplicating the code.
This problem doesn't lead to any incorrect execution; it's only
untidy.
This change will make fixing PR17872 a little easier.

Listing all of the attributes for the callee of a call/invoke instruction is way
too much and makes the IR unreadable. Use references to attributes instead.

pad, separating the exception and selector calls from the new lpad. Teaching
it not to do that, or to properly adjust the CFG afterwards, is out of
scope because it would require the other edges to the landing pad to be split
as well (effectively). Instead, just recover from the most likely cases
during inlining. The best long-term solution is to change the exception
representation and commit to either requiring or not requiring the more
complex edge-splitting logic; this is just a shorter-term hack.

transformed by the inliner into a branch to the enclosing landing pad
(when inlined through an invoke). If not so optimized, it is lowered
DWARF EH preparation into a call to _Unwind_Resume (or _Unwind_SjLj_Resume
as appropriate). Its chief advantage is that it takes both the
exception value and the selector value as arguments, meaning that there
is zero effort in recovering these; however, the frontend is required
to pass these down, which is not actually particularly difficult.
Also document the behavior of landing pads a bit better, and make it
clearer that it's okay that personality functions don't always land at
landing pads. This is just a fact of life. Don't write optimizations that
rely on pushing things over an unwind edge.

- the selector for the landing pad must provide all available information
about the handlers, filters, and cleanups within that landing pad
- calls to _Unwind_Resume must be converted to branches to the enclosing
lpad so as to avoid re-entering the unwinder when the lpad claimed it
was going to handle the exception in some way
This is quite specific to libUnwind-based unwinding. In an effort to not
interfere too badly with other unwinders, and with existing hacks in frontends,
this only triggers on _Unwind_Resume (not _Unwind_Resume_or_Rethrow) and does
nothing with selectors if it cannot find a selector call for either lpad.
