The original change was reverted because it was discovered
that clang mishandles thunks, and they receive wrong
attributes for their this/return types - the ones for the function
they will call, not the ones they have.
While i have tried to fix this in https://reviews.llvm.org/D100388
that patch has been up and stuck for a month now,
with little signs of progress.
So while it will be good to solve this for real,
for now we can simply avoid introducing the bug,
by not annotating this/return for thunks.
This reverts commit 6270b3a1ea,
relanding 0aa0458f14.
As it is being noted in D99249, lack of alignment information on `this`
has been preventing LICM from happening.
For some time now, lack of alignment attribute does *not* imply
natural alignment, but an alignment of `1`.
Also, we used to treat dereferenceable as implying alignment,
but we no longer do, so it's a bugfix.

Move nomerge attribute from function declaration/definition to callsites to
allow virtual function calls attach the attribute.

For a default visibility external linkage definition, dso_local is set for ELF
-fno-pic/-fpie and COFF and Mach-O. Since default clang -cc1 for ELF is similar
to -fpic ("PIC Level" is not set), this nuance causes unneeded binary format differences.
To make emitted IR similar, ELF -cc1 -fpic will default to -fno-semantic-interposition,
which sets dso_local for default visibility external linkage definitions.
To make this flip smooth and enable future (dso_local as definition default),
this patch replaces (function) `define ` with `define{{.*}} `,
(variable/constant/alias) `= ` with `={{.*}} `, or inserts appropriate `{{.*}} `.

* Adds 'nonnull' and 'dereferenceable(N)' to 'this' pointer arguments
* Gates 'nonnull' on -f(no-)delete-null-pointer-checks
* Introduces this-nonnull.cpp and microsoft-abi-this-nullable.cpp tests to

* Refactors hundreds of over-constrained clang tests to permit these
attributes, where needed
* Updates Clang12 patch notes mentioning this change

Sometimes we also want to avoid merging inline assembly. This patch add
the nomerge function attribute to inline assembly.
