Support marking a call as pure

A function call or IIFE with an immediately preceding comment
containing `@__PURE__` or `#__PURE__` is deemed to be a
side-effect-free pure function call and can potentially be
dropped.

Depends on `side_effects` option.

`[#@]__PURE__` hint will be removed from comment when pure
call is dropped.

fixes #1261
closes #1448
