* Add @_used and @_section attributes for global variables and top-level functions
This adds:
- @_used attribute that flags as a global variable or a top-level function as
"do not dead-strip" via llvm.used, roughly the equivalent of
__attribute__((used)) in C/C++.
- @_section("...") attribute that places a global variable or a top-level
function into a section with that name, roughly the equivalent of
__attribute__((section("..."))) in C/C++.
We shouldn't diagnose adding @_predatesConcurrency without considering the context because the attribute itself is for ABI-preserving purposes.

The attached and freestanding macro attributes use the same parsing
logic and representation, so generalize the "attached" attribute into
a more general "macro role" attribute.
Describe attached macros with the `@attached` attribute, providing the
macro role and affected names as arguments to the macro. The form of
this macro will remain the same as it gains other kinds of attached
macro roles beyond "accessor".
Remove the "accessors" role from `@declaration`, which will be going
away.
Add support for freestanding declaration macros.
- Parse `@declaration` attribute.
- Type check and expand `MacroExpansionDecl`.
Known issues:
- Generic macros are not yet handled.
- Expansion does not work when the parent decl context is `BraceStmt`. Need to parse freestanding declaration macro expansions in `BraceStmt` as `MacroExpansionDecl`, and add expanded decls to name lookup.
This allows us to evolve e.g. token kinds and how attributes are modelled independently between SwiftSyntax and the compiler. It also makes it easier to e.g. add an attribute because you don’t need to create PRs for two repositories.
