LOG: [Clang] eliminate -Winvalid-noreturn false positive after throw + 
unreachable try/catch blocks (#175443)

Fixes #174822

---

This PR fixes a false `-Winvalid-noreturn` positive when an
unconditional `throw` is followed by an unreachable `try`/`catch` block.

The false positive occurred because reachability analysis marked
`try`/`catch` regions as live even when unreachable via normal control
flow. The following logic


https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/1c0c9aeae681dbed90fcb19edd8a41e10a17f867/clang/lib/Sema/AnalysisBasedWarnings.cpp#L573-L589

that adjusted for missing `EH` call edges, treated disconnected `try` as
reachable.

CFG construction now keeps the `try` dispatch block as the join point of
the `try` statement and adds a successor for the `try` body. If the
`try` body is empty, an empty block is created and connected to the
successor. This prevents the `try` dispatch from becoming disconnected
and ensures that return paths in _function-try-blocks_


https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/1c0c9aeae681dbed90fcb19edd8a41e10a17f867/clang/test/SemaCXX/return-noreturn.cpp#L249-L264

Also, unreachable try/catch code after an unconditional `throw` is no
longer treated as reachable and no longer triggers a false positive
`-Winvalid-noreturn` warning.
