There should only be a single place to hold type information, including
attributes, to ensure consistency. Future changes will remove the "type" member
of goto_functiont, making the type information stored in the symbol table the
single, authoritative source of information.

With this commit the information will remain available in both places, but all
read accesses only use the information in the symbol table.

This is a further, meant-to-be-non-breaking step towards removing goto_functiont::type, which #4167 tries to achieve.

Though I note this is yet another candidate for symbolt having an attributes member for function attributes that aren't really part of its type signature.

I guess we already have a ton of attributes in symbolt? I do know you suggested that rather than adding more binary flags we should have some data structure. I'm wondering whether, on this occasion, we should just use the existing is_auxiliary flag. We really have a very limited number of users of all this information here, and it's just advisory.

I just did this. The is_hidden/set_hidden are now API functions of symbolt rather than code_typet.
