LOG: [Clang] Add __builtin_assume_dereferenceable to encode deref assumption. 
(#121789)

This patch adds a new __builtin_assume_dereferenceable to encode
dereferenceability of a pointer using llvm.assume with an operand
bundle.

For now the builtin only accepts constant sizes, I am planning to drop
this restriction in a follow-up change.

This can be used to better optimize cases where a pointer is known to be
dereferenceable, e.g. unconditionally loading from p2 when vectorizing
the loop.

    int *get_ptr();

    void foo(int* src, int x) {
      int *p2 = get_ptr();
      __builtin_assume_aligned(p2, 4);
      __builtin_assume_dereferenceable(p2, 4000);
      for (unsigned I = 0; I != 1000; ++I) {
        int x = src[I];
        if (x == 0)
          x = p2[I];
         src[I] = x;
      }
    }

+``__builtin_assume_dereferenceable``
+-------------------------------------
+
+``__builtin_assume_dereferenceable`` is used to provide the optimizer with the
+knowledge that the pointer argument P is dereferenceable up to at least the
+specified number of bytes.
+
+**Syntax**:
+
+.. code-block:: c++
+
+    __builtin_assume_dereferenceable(const void *, size_t)
+
+**Example of Use**:
+
+.. code-block:: c++
+
+  int foo(int *x, int y) {
+      __builtin_assume_dereferenceable(x, sizeof(int));
+      int z = 0;
+      if (y == 1) {
+        // The optimizer may execute the load of x unconditionally due to
+        // __builtin_assume_dereferenceable guaranteeing sizeof(int) bytes can
+        // be loaded speculatively without trapping.
+        z = *x;
+      }
+      return z;
+  }
+
+**Description**:
+
+The arguments to this function provide a start pointer ``P`` and a size ``S``.
+``S`` must be at least 1 and a constant. The optimizer may assume that ``S``
+bytes are dereferenceable starting at ``P``. Note that this does not 
necessarily
+imply that ``P`` is non-null as ``nullptr`` can be dereferenced in some cases.
+The assumption also does not imply that ``P`` is not dereferenceable past ``S``
+bytes.
+
+
+Query for this feature with 
``__has_builtin(__builtin_assume_dereferenceable)``.
