[IR] add fn attr for no_stack_protector; prevent inlining on mismatch
It's currently ambiguous in IR whether the source language explicitly did not want a stack a stack protector (in C, via function attribute no_stack_protector) or doesn't care for any given function. It's common for code that manipulates the stack via inline assembly or that has to set up its own stack canary (such as the Linux kernel) would like to avoid stack protectors in certain functions. In this case, we've been bitten by numerous bugs where a callee with a stack protector is inlined into an __attribute__((__no_stack_protector__)) caller, which generally breaks the caller's assumptions about not having a stack protector. LTO exacerbates the issue. While developers can avoid this by putting all no_stack_protector functions in one translation unit together and compiling those with -fno-stack-protector, it's generally not very ergonomic or as ergonomic as a function attribute, and still doesn't work for LTO.
