The attributes changes were left out of Clang 17.
Attributes that used to take a string literal now accept an unevaluated
string literal instead, which means they reject numeric escape sequences
and strings literal with an encoding prefix - but the later was already
ill-formed in most cases.
We need to know that we are going to parse an unevaluated string literal
before we do - so we can reject numeric escape sequence,
so we derive from Attrs.td which attributes parameters are expected
to be string literals.

Turned out we were making overly simple assumptions about which sections (& section flags) would be used when emitting a global into a custom section. This lead to sections with read-only flags being used for globals of struct types with mutable members.
Fixed by porting the codegen function with the more nuanced handling/checking for mutable members out of codegen for use in the sema code that does this initial checking/mapping to section flags.

If two variables are declared with __attribute__((section(name))) and
the implicit section types (e.g. read only vs writeable) conflict, an
error is raised. Extend this mechanism so that an error is raised if the
section type implied by a function's __attribute__((section)) conflicts
with that of another variable.
