Subject: [PATCH 1/3] [CodeGen][Clang] Add -fstack-protector-layout-only

Add a way to apply only the changes to the stack frame layout that are
made when stack protectors are enabled, without actually inserting a
stack protector.

LLVM:

Add a new "stack-protector-layout-only" function attribute.
When specified, the StackProtector pass still identifies the objects
that are likely to be overflowed, and adjusts the stack frame layout
accordingly, but does not insert a stack protector.

Add a new MachineFrameInfo flag, stackProtectorLayoutOnly. It tells
PrologEpilogInserter and LocalStackSlotAllocation to apply the stack
protector's frame layout changes for those objects although no stack
protector object exists.

Clang:

Add a new flag -fstack-protector-layout-only which adds the layout-only
attribute to every function that gets a stack protector attribute. At a
minimum -fstack-protector is enabled so that the layout changes can be
made; if stack protection would otherwise be off, by default or via an
explicit -fno-stack-protector, a warning is emitted.
