LOG: [clang-cl] Support /std:clatest (#147284)

cl.exe has /std:clatest, analogous to /std:c++latest, which sets the
language mode to the latest standard. For C, that's C23. This adds
support for the option.

Fixes #147233

 - The ``[[clang::assume()]]`` attribute is now correctly recognized in C. The
   ``__attribute__((assume()))`` form has always been supported, so the fix is
   specific to the attribute syntax used.
+- The ``clang-cl`` driver now recognizes ``/std:clatest`` and sets the language
