Since C++11, the C++ standard has a forward progress guarantee
[intro.progress], so all such functions must have the `mustprogress`
requirement. In addition, from C11 and onwards, loops without a non-zero
constant conditional or no conditional are also required to make
progress (C11 6.8.5p6). This patch implements these attribute deductions
so they can be used by the optimization passes.

The attribute has no effect on a do statement since the path of execution
will always include its substatement.
It adds a diagnostic when the attribute is used on an infinite while loop
since the codegen omits the branch here. Since the likelihood attributes
have no effect on a do statement no diagnostic will be issued for
do [[unlikely]] {...} while(0);
