This patch adds extra function attributes to the cir.call operation. The extra attributes now may contain a single cir.nothrow attribute that indicates whether the callee throws.

I conducted a minor refactor in the latest commit.

Prior to the latest commit, CallOp build functions (namely, CallOp::build, CIRBaseBuilderTy::createCallOp, and CIRBaseBuilderTy::createIndirectCallOp) takes quite a lot parameters, including the extra optional call attributes. I'm worried that this could eventually explode the parameter list of build functions, making them difficult to read and use. The latest commit removes these extra parameters from the build functions, and instead set these attributes on the constructed call op later in a separate step.

Thanks for updating the other attributes names as well, way to go.

This patch adds nothrow attribute to call operations to indicate the callee will
not throw.

This patch also contains a minor refactor. The construction of call operations
is now split into two steps. The CallOp::build function and the create function
in CIR builder now only accepts basic parameters including the callee and the
arguments. Other extra arguments, including any additional attributes, are set
later on the constructed op in a separate step.
