AttributeList::get(Fn|Ret|Param)Attributes no longer creates a temporary
AttributeList just to hide the AttributeSetNode type.
I've also added a factory method to create AttributeLists from a
parallel array of AttributeSetNodes. This greatly simplified the
construction of AttributeLists during IPO transforms, in my opinion.
Previously we would test if a particular index had attributes, and
conditionally add a temporary attribute list to a vector. Now the
attribute set vector is parallel to the argument vector already that
these passes already construct.
My long term vision is to wrap AttributeSetNode* inside an AttributeSet
type that holds the enum attributes, but that will come in a follow up
change.
I haven't done any performance measurements for this change because
profiling hasn't shown that any of the affected code is hot.
