Currently, a transformation like pow(2.0, x) -> exp2(x) copies the pow
attribute list verbatim and applies it to exp2. This works out fine
when the attribute list is empty, but when it isn't clang may error due
due to the mismatch.
The source function and destination don't necessarily have anything
to do with one another, attribute-wise. So it makes sense to remove
the attribute lists (this is similar to what IPO does in this
situation).
This was discovered after implementing the `noundef` param attribute.

Summary:
Transform
pow(C,x)
To
exp2(log2(C)*x)
if C > 0, C != inf, C != NaN (and C is not power of 2, since we have some fold for such case already).
log(C) is folded by the compiler and exp2 is much faster to compute than pow.
