[Clang] Refactor __attribute__((assume)) (#84934)
This is a followup to #81014 and #84582: Before this patch, Clang 
would accept `__attribute__((assume))` and `[[clang::assume]]` as 
nonstandard spellings for the `[[omp::assume]]` attribute; this 
resulted in a potentially very confusing name clash with C++23’s 
`[[assume]]` attribute (and GCC’s `assume` attribute with the same
semantics).

This pr replaces every usage of `__attribute__((assume))`  with 
`[[omp::assume]]` and makes `__attribute__((assume))` and 
`[[clang::assume]]` alternative spellings for C++23’s `[[assume]]`; 
this shouldn’t cause any problems due to differences in appertainment
and because almost no-one was using this variant spelling to begin
with (a use in libclc has already been changed to use a different
attribute).

b9c77542e2 [Clang][Attr] Introduce the assume function attribute
The `assume` attribute is a way to provide additional, arbitrary
information to the optimizer. For now, assumptions are restricted to
strings which will be accumulated for a function and emitted as comma
separated string function attribute. The key of the LLVM-IR function
attribute is `llvm.assume`. Similar to `llvm.assume` and
`__builtin_assume`, the `assume` attribute provides a user defined
assumption to the compiler.

A follow up patch will introduce an LLVM-core API to query the
assumptions attached to a function. We also expect to add more options,
e.g., expression arguments, to the `assume` attribute later on.

The `omp [begin] asssumes` pragma will leverage this attribute and
expose the functionality in the absence of OpenMP.
