[attrs] Handle convergent CallSites.

Details

Summary

Previously we had a notion of convergent functions but not of convergent
calls. This is insufficient to correctly analyze calls where the target
is unknown, e.g. indirect calls.

Now a call is convergent if it targets a known-convergent function, or
if it's explicitly marked as convergent. As usual, we can remove
convergent where we can prove that no convergent operations are
performed in the call.

Originally landed as r261544, then reverted in r261544 for (incidental)
build breakage. Re-landed here with no changes.

This should be entirely or mostly good-to-go, but would like a once-over by chanclerc, since the last attempt at landing this, D17317, didn't get his final approval.

Very nice. Two small nits below, feel free to land with those addressed.

Perhaps its just me, but I would find this easier to read as a single loop over the functions in the SCC, and three conditions on which we return false (with the exact comments you currently have, those are awesome).

Hm, it's slightly more complicated than that, because the first 'if' is a !any_of. But I went ahead and made the change, because I think it's justified on the grounds of not wanting to iterate over a non-convergent function's instructions if it happens to be in an SCC with a convergent function.
