It would be awesome if we could automatically generate with TableGen
most of subject checking and argument checking.  It seems like we can
because SemaDeclAttr.cpp is mostly boring copy-pasted code.  I think
that we could describe attribute arguments declaratively in Attr.td
and remove most argument checks in SemaDeclAttr.cpp (like, is this an
ICE?  is this an ICE that is a valid function argument number?  is
that a string literal? etc), thus leaving only important
attribute-specific checks to be manually written.
