Jian Cai fcbc613ad8 Make "#pragma clang attribute" support uninitialized attribute. ...

Summary:
When using -ftrivial-auto-var-init=* options to initiate automatic
variables in a file, to disable initialization on some variables,
currently we have to manually annotate the variables with uninitialized
attribute, such as

int dont_initialize_me __attribute((uninitialized));

Making pragma clang attribute to support this attribute would make
annotating variables much easier, and could be particular useful for
bisection efforts, e.g.

void use(void*);

void buggy() {
    int arr[256];
    int boom;
    float bam;
    struct { int oops; } oops;
    union { int oof; float aaaaa; } oof;

    use(&arr);
    use(&boom);
    use(&bam);
    use(&oops);
    use(&oof);
}
