https://github.com/jhuber6 created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/125796

Summary:
Some attributes have gnu extensions that share names with clang
attributes. If these imply the same thing, we can specially declare this
to be an alternate but equivalent spelling.

Discussions welcome on whether or not we want to bind ourselves to GNU
behavior, since theoretically it's possible for GNU to silently change
the semantics away from our implementation, but I'm not an expert.

Fixes: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/125760
