In addition to __builtin_assume_aligned, GCC also supports an assume_aligned
attribute which specifies the alignment (and optional offset) of a function's
return value. Here we implement support for the assume_aligned attribute by making
use of the @llvm.assume intrinsic.

This makes use of the recently-added @llvm.assume intrinsic to implement a
__builtin_assume(bool) intrinsic (to provide additional information to the
optimizer). This hooks up __assume in MS-compatibility mode to mirror
__builtin_assume (the semantics have been intentionally kept compatible), and
implements GCC's __builtin_assume_aligned as assume((p - o) & mask == 0). LLVM
now contains special logic to deal with assumptions of this form.
