Duncan P. N. Exon Smith 3d4cd756b6 IR: Add assembly/bitcode support for function metadata attachments
Add serialization support for function metadata attachments (added in
r235783).  The syntax is:

    define @foo() !attach !0 {

Metadata attachments are only allowed on functions with bodies.  Since
they come before the `{`, they're not really part of the body; since
they require a body, they're not really part of the header.  In
`LLParser` I gave them a separate function called from `ParseDefine()`,
`ParseOptionalFunctionMetadata()`.

In bitcode, I'm using the same `METADATA_ATTACHMENT` record used by
instructions.  Instruction metadata attachments are included in a
special "attachment" block at the end of a `Function`.  The attachment
records are laid out like this:

    InstID (KindID MetadataID)+

Note that these records always have an odd number of fields.  The new
code takes advantage of this to recognize function attachments (which
don't need an instruction ID):

    (KindID MetadataID)+

This means we can use the same attachment block already used for
instructions.

This is part of PR23340.
