Add llvm.codeview.annotation to implement MSVC __annotation

Summary

This intrinsic represents a label with a list of associated metadata
strings. It is not zero-cost, since it is modelled as reading and
writing memory.

MSVC does not clone annotations when inlining, so we follow suit.

I wonder if the right way to model it is with inaccessiblememonly?

Oh, I forgot about that.

In general, I was just aiming for something conservatively correct that would survive the optimizer at all costs. It should be code generated at most once (so noduplicate). In practice, MSVC removes annotations during inlining, and does not appear to duplicate them in any other way. We could try lambdas or other tricks that force them to double-emit them, though.
