With recent changes to how we specify the storage class of a variable, we've managed to eliminate the need for a few of the storage class attributes in cases where we can successfully infer all possible valid uses. Mainly the input, output, private, function, generic, and uniform_constant attributes at the time of this writing are no longer needed and should be removed now that they can't be used for anything useful.

Research direction
No source files or tests are named. Start by locating the storage-class attribute handling for input, output, private, function, generic, and uniform_constant, then review how recent inference changes affect their valid uses. Done means removing attributes that can no longer serve a useful purpose and updating the relevant checks or tests.
