Set the writable and dead_on_unwind attributes for sret arguments. These
indicate that the argument points to writable memory (and it's legal to
introduce spurious writes to it on entry to the function) and that the
argument memory will not be used if the call unwinds.
This enables additional MemCpyOpt/DSE/LICM optimizations.
This patch implements an initial step towards refactoring our ABI tests
(moving them to update_cc_test_checks.py). Future patches combine them.

The hard float ABIs have a rule that if a flattened struct contains
either a single fp value, or an int+fp, or fp+fp then it may be passed
in a pair of registers (if sufficient GPRs+FPRs are available).
detectFPCCEligibleStruct and the helper it calls,
detectFPCCEligibleStructHelper examine the type of the argument/return
value to determine if it complies with the requirements for this ABI
rule.
As reported in bug #57084, this logic produces incorrect results for C++
structs that inherit from other structs. This is because only the fields
of the struct were examined, but enumerating RD->fields misses any
fields in inherited C++ structs. This patch corrects that issue by
adding appropriate logic to enumerate any included base structs.
