This switches everything to use the memory attribute proposed in
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-unify-memory-effect-attributes/65579.
The old argmemonly, inaccessiblememonly and inaccessiblemem_or_argmemonly
attributes are dropped. The readnone, readonly and writeonly attributes
are restricted to parameters only.
The old attributes are auto-upgraded both in bitcode and IR.
The bitcode upgrade is a policy requirement that has to be retained
indefinitely. The IR upgrade is mainly there so it's not necessary
to update all tests using memory attributes in this patch, which
is already large enough. We could drop that part after migrating
tests, or retain it longer term, to make it easier to import IR
from older LLVM versions.
High-level Function/CallBase APIs like doesNotAccessMemory() or
setDoesNotAccessMemory() are mapped transparently to the memory
attribute. Code that directly manipulates attributes (e.g. via
AttributeList) on the other hand needs to switch to working with
the memory attribute instead.

Summary:
The "=r" output constraint for a structure variable passed to inline asm
shouldn't be converted to "=*r", as this changes the asm directive
semantics and prevents DSE optimizations.
Instead, preserve the constraints and return such structures as integers
of corresponding size, which are converted back to structures when
storing the result.
Fixes PR42672.

Previously, clang/llvm treated inline-asm instructions conservatively,
choosing not to eliminate the instructions or hoisting them out of a loop
even when it was safe to do so. This commit makes changes to attach a
readonly or readnone attribute to an inline-asm instruction, which enables
passes such as LICM and EarlyCSE to move or optimize away the instruction.
