Consider running gtests, where multiple clang instances will be created in sequence, slowly filling up the static cache with decl pointer that will get dangling after each test. Once in a while after a long running unittest you would get a cache hit for a dangling pointer and the disaster happens.

I've revisited the approach I initially took, so now we don't need any cache to collect visited functions as I added an implicit bool argument to the `analyzer_noreturn` attribute. These declarations are now considered equivalent:

```cpp
void foo() __attribute__((analyzer_noreturn));
void foo() __attribute__((analyzer_noreturn(true)));
```
...and I can add implicit `__attribute__((analyzer_noreturn(false)))` to functions that I've already checked. This gives us the following benefits:

- We don't need to revisit function calls repeatedly since the result of the previous check is saved in the analyzer_noreturn attribute
- Simplifies DFS search (nodes we're currently visiting are marked with` analyzer_noreturn(false)`)
