(This is a re-do of #138972, which had a minor warning in `Clang.cpp`.) This PR adds some of the support needed for Windows hot-patching. Windows implements a form of hot-patching. This allows patches to be applied to Windows apps, drivers, and the kernel, without rebooting or restarting any of these components. Hot-patching is a complex technology and requires coordination between the OS, compilers, linkers, and additional tools. This PR adds support to Clang and LLVM for part of the hot-patching process. It enables LLVM to generate the required code changes and to generate CodeView symbols which identify hot-patched functions. The PR provides new command-line arguments to Clang which allow developers to identify the list of functions that need to be hot-patched. This PR also allows LLVM to directly receive the list of functions to be modified, so that language front-ends which have not yet been modified (such as Rust) can still make use of hot-patching. This PR: * Adds a `MarkedForWindowsHotPatching` LLVM function attribute. This attribute indicates that a function should be _hot-patched_. This generates a new CodeView symbol, `S_HOTPATCHFUNC`, which identifies any function that has been hot-patched. This attribute also causes accesses to global variables to be indirected through a `_ref_*` global variable. This allows hot-patched functions to access the correct version of a global variable; the hot-patched code needs to access the variable in the _original_ image, not the patch image. * Adds a `AllowDirectAccessInHotPatchFunction` LLVM attribute. This attribute may be placed on global variable declarations. It indicates that the variable may be safely accessed without the `_ref_*` indirection. * Adds two Clang command-line parameters: `-fms-hotpatch-functions-file` and `-fms-hotpatch-functions-list`. The `-file` flag may point to a text file, which contains a list of functions to be hot-patched (one function name per line). The `-list` flag simply directly identifies functions to be patched, using a comma-separated list. These two command-line parameters may also be combined; the final set of functions to be hot-patched is the union of the two sets. * Adds similar LLVM command-line parameters: `--ms-hotpatch-functions-file` and `--ms-hotpatch-functions-list`. * Adds integration tests for both LLVM and Clang. * Adds support for dumping the new `S_HOTPATCHFUNC` CodeView symbol. Although the flags are redundant between Clang and LLVM, this allows additional languages (such as Rust) to take advantage of hot-patching support before they have been modified to generate the required attributes.
