In order to accurately put a type into the correct location in the AST
we construct from debug info, we need to be able to determine what
DeclContext (namespace, global, nested class, etc) that it goes into.
PDB doesn't contain this mapping. It does, however, contain the reverse
mapping. That is, for a given class type T, you can determine all
classes Q1, Q2, ..., Qn that are nested inside of T. We need to know,
for a given class type Q, what type T is it nested inside of.
This patch builds this map as a pre-processing step when we first
load the PDB by scanning every type. Initial tests show that while
this can be slow in debug builds of LLDB, it is quite fast in release
builds (less than 2 seconds for a ~1GB PDB, and it only needs to happen
once).
Furthermore, having this pre-processing step in place allows us to
repurpose it for building up other kinds of indexing to it down the
line. For the time being, this gives us very accurate reconstruction
of the DeclContext hierarchy.

Previous patches added support for dumping global variables of
primitive types, so we now do the same for class types.
For the most part, everything just worked, there was only one
minor bug needing fixed, which was that for variables of modified
types (e.g. const, volatile, etc) we can't resolve the forward
decl in CreateAndCacheType because the PdbSymUid must point to the
LF_MODIFIER which must point to the forward decl. So when it comes
time to call CompleteType, an assert was firing because we expected
to get a class, struct, union, or enum, but we were getting an
LF_MODIFIER instead.
The other issue is that one the newly added tests is for an array
member, which was not yet supported, so we add support for that
now in this patch.
There's probably room for other interesting layout test cases
here, but this at least should test the basics.
