Florian Hahn e5822ded56 [FunctionAttrs] Infer argmemonly . ...

This patch adds initial argmemonly inference, by checking the underlying
objects of locations returned by MemoryLocation.

I think this should cover most cases, except function calls to other
argmemonly functions.

I'm not sure if there's a reason why we don't infer those yet.

Additional argmemonly can improve codegen in some cases. It also makes
it easier to come up with a C reproducer for 7662d1687b (already fixed,
but I'm trying to see if C/C++ fuzzing could help to uncover similar
issues.)
