Introduce a new attribute that is used to indicate the error handling
convention used by a function. This is used to translate the error
semantics from the decorated interface to a compatible Swift interface.
The supported error convention is one of:
- none: no error handling
- nonnull_error: a non-null error parameter indicates an error signifier
- null_result: a return value of NULL is an error signifier
- zero_result: a return value of 0 is an error signifier
- nonzero_result: a non-zero return value is an error signifier
Since this is the first of the attributes needed to support the semantic
annotation for Swift, this change also includes the necessary supporting
infrastructure for a new category of attributes (Swift).
This is based on the work of the original changes in
