noinline attribute

[jackdotink]

This RFC adds the @[inline("never")] attribute to replace the local func; function func() pattern to prevent inlining.

Given #49 strikes down the idea of a @inline is the motivation against @noinline valid? Personally I think it would make far more sense over a mandatory argument that's only ever a single value (especially given the syntax for arguments to attributes isn't the prettiest too).

[Dekkonot]

I'm inclined to boost @noinline over @inline(never) for the reasons Bottersnike mentioned above. If we ever get an @inline attribute, we can add never as an option without too much trouble.

[jackdotink]

I am happy with either.

[jackdotink]

This is a simple RFC. There has been no discussion beyond @noinline vs @[inline("never")], and I am happy with both options, whichever would get this merged.

Is this is a feature that the Luau maintainers want?
