9e0c06d7 - [clang][CodeGen] Set `dead_on_return` when passing arguments indirectly

[clang][CodeGen] Set `dead_on_return` when passing arguments indirectly Let Clang emit `dead_on_return` attribute on pointer arguments that are passed indirectly, namely, large aggregates that the ABI mandates be passed by value; thus, the parameter is destroyed within the callee. Writes to such arguments are not observable by the caller after the callee returns. This should desirably enable further MemCpyOpt/DSE optimizations.
