It'd be a pretty big change to start dumping label attributes in text AST dumps when the LabelDecl isn't even shown. Any suggestions?
the others make sense for it.
`LabelDecl` is an interesting beast, and it actually is a little awkward that `LabelDecl` can have attributes, since it is actually the statement that has them written on it. IMO, we should have it ast-dump the attributes for the `LabelStmt`, and it should just print the ones from the `Decl`. It isn't really possible AFAIK to have an 'implicit' `LabelDecl` have attributes anyway, so it makes sense to print them there.
