This switches everything to use the memory attribute proposed in
https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-unify-memory-effect-attributes/65579.
The old argmemonly, inaccessiblememonly and inaccessiblemem_or_argmemonly
attributes are dropped. The readnone, readonly and writeonly attributes
are restricted to parameters only.
The old attributes are auto-upgraded both in bitcode and IR.
The bitcode upgrade is a policy requirement that has to be retained
indefinitely. The IR upgrade is mainly there so it's not necessary
to update all tests using memory attributes in this patch, which
is already large enough. We could drop that part after migrating
tests, or retain it longer term, to make it easier to import IR
from older LLVM versions.
High-level Function/CallBase APIs like doesNotAccessMemory() or
setDoesNotAccessMemory() are mapped transparently to the memory
attribute. Code that directly manipulates attributes (e.g. via
AttributeList) on the other hand needs to switch to working with
the memory attribute instead.

This adds the default attributes (nocallback, nosync, nofree,
willreturn) to some X86 intrinsics. This will be needed to avoid
optimization regressions in the future (once we remove the
readonly -> willreturn implication for intrinsics).
Due to the number of intrinsics, this patch focuses just on the
IntrNoMem intrinsics up to the AVX2 section.

This change fixes a latent bug which was exposed by a change currently in review (https://reviews.llvm.org/D99802#2685032).
The story on this is a bit involved. Without this change, what ended up happening with the pending review was that we'd strip attributes off intrinsics, and then selectiondag would fail to lower the intrinsic. Why? Because the lowering of the intrinsic relies on the presence of the readonly attribute. We don't have a matcher to select the case where there's a glue node needed.
Now, on the surface, this still seems like a codegen bug. However, here it gets fun. I was unable to reproduce this with a standalone test at all, and was pretty much struck until skatkov provided the critical detail. This reproduces only when RS4GC and codegen are run in the same process and context. Why? Because it turns out we can't roundtrip the stripped attribute through serialized IR!
We'll happily print out the missing attribute, but when we parse it back, the auto-upgrade logic has a side effect of blindly overwriting attributes on intrinsics with those specified in Intrinsics.td. This makes it impossible to exercise SelectionDAG from a standalone test case.
At this point, I decided to treat this an RS4GC bug as a) we don't need to strip in this case, and b) I could write a test which shows the correct behavior to ensure this doesn't break again in the future.
As an aside, I'd originally set out to handle libfuncs too - since in theory they might have the same issues - but backed away quickly when I realized how the semantics of builtin, nobuiltin, and no-builtin-x all interacted. I'm utterly convinced that no part of the optimizer handles that correctly, and decided not to open that can of worms here.
