The only useful loop unrolling flag to give realistically is
'-fno-unroll-loops'. The option to the backend is even called
'DisableUnrollLoops'. This is precisely the form that Clang *didn't*
support. We didn't recognize the flag, we didn't pass it to the CC1
layer, and even if we did we wouldn't use it. Clang only inspected the
positive form of the flag, and only did so to enable loop unrolling when
the optimization level wasn't high enough. This only occurs for an
optimization level that even has a chance of running the loop unroller
when optimizing for size.
This commit wires up the 'no' variant, and switches the code to actually
follow the standard flag pattern of using the last flag and allowing
a flag in either direction to override the default.
I think this is still wrong. I don't know why we disable the loop
unroller entirely *from Clang* when optimizing for size, as the loop
unrolling pass *already has special logic* for the case where the
function is attributed as optimized for size! We should really be
trusting that. Maybe in a follow-up patch, I don't really want to change
behavior here.
