[HLSL] MS-style for and while statement unroll attribute

[llvm-beanz]

HLSL for and while loops support Microsoft-syntax attributes. For Phase 1 we need to support parsing the unroll attribute:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/direct3dhlsl/dx-graphics-hlsl-while

AC:
Investigate if we can implement the unroll attribute via the clang loophint attribute
if there are differences then additional work items will be created for later phases

@llvm-beanz - checking here - the title seems to suggest that this involves actually implementing [unroll], but the AC suggests it is more of an investigation?

[llvm-beanz]

That's probably poor issue writing on my part. The AC should really be "this feature should work and be tested".

My hope is that this can just be implemented in terms of the existing loop hint support, and I wanted to track that since I probably won't be the person to actually do this work. I haven't had time to investigate further to verify that the existing mechanisms will handle our needs so it is possible this task is bigger than I suspect.

HLSL `for` and `while` loops support Microsoft-syntax attributes. For Phase 1 we need to support parsing the `unroll` attribute:
