dealing with address-space- and GC-qualified pointers. Previously,
these qualifiers were being treated just like cvr-qualifiers (in some
cases) or were completely ignored, leading to uneven behavior. For
example, const_cast would allow conversion between pointers to
different address spaces.
The new semantics are fairly simple: reinterpret_cast can be used to
explicitly cast between pointers to different address spaces
(including adding/removing addresss spaces), while
static_cast/dynamic_cast/const_cast do not tolerate any changes in the
address space. C-style casts can add/remove/change address spaces
through the reinterpret_cast mechanism. Other non-CVR qualifiers
(e.g., Objective-C GC qualifiers) work similarly.
As part of this change, I tweaked the "casts away constness"
diagnostic to use the term "casts away qualifiers". The term
"constness" actually comes from the C++ standard, despite the fact
that removing "volatile" also falls under that category. In Clang, we
also have restrict, address spaces, ObjC GC attributes, etc., so the
more general "qualifiers" is clearer.

Most of these testcase changes were done by script, so don't feel too
sorry for my fingers.

- This is designed to make it obvious that %clang_cc1 is a "test variable"
which is substituted. It is '%clang_cc1' instead of '%clang -cc1' because it
can be useful to redefine what gets run as 'clang -cc1' (for example, to set
a default target).
