Add nomerge function attribute to supress tail merge optimization in simplifyCFG

We want to add a way to avoid merging identical calls so as to keep the
separate debug-information for those calls. There is also an asan
usecase where having this attribute would be beneficial to avoid
alternative work-arounds.

Here is the link to the feature request:
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42783.

`nomerge` is different from `noline`. `noinline` prevents function from
inlining at callsites, but `nomerge` prevents multiple identical calls
from being merged into one.

This patch adds `nomerge` to disable the optimization in IR level. A
followup patch will be needed to let backend understands `nomerge` and
avoid tail merge at backend.
