Resubmit support for the 'nocapture' attribute.

The problematic part of this patch is that we were out of attribute bits,
requiring some fancy bit hacking to make it fit (by shrinking alignment)
without breaking existing users or the file format.

This change will require users to rebuild llvm-gcc to match llvm.
