Dan Klishch 1760effa33 [clang] Implement gcc_struct attribute on Itanium targets (#71148)
This commit implements gcc_struct attribute with the behavior similar to
one in GCC. Current behavior is as follows:

When ItaniumRecordLayoutBuilder is used, [[gcc_struct]] will locally
cancel the effect of -mms-bitfields on a record. If -mms-bitfields is
not supplied and is not a default behavior on a target, [[gcc_struct]]
will be a no-op. This should provide enough compatibility with GCC.

If C++ ABI is "Microsoft", [[gcc_struct]] will currently always produce
a diagnostic, since support for it is not yet implemented in
MicrosoftRecordLayoutBuilder. Note, however, that all the infrastructure
is ready for the future implementation.

In particular, check for default value of -mms-bitfields is moved from a
driver to ASTContext, since it now non-trivially depends on other
supplied flags. This also, unfortunately, makes it impossible to use
usual argument parsing for `-m{no-,}ms-bitfields`.

The patch doesn't introduce any backwards-incompatible changes, except
for situations when cc1 is called directly with `-mms-bitfields` option.

Work towards #24757
