Add -fpch-instantiate-templates which makes template instantiations be
performed already in the PCH instead of it being done in every single
file that uses the PCH (but every single file will still do it as well
in order to handle its own instantiations). I can see 20-30% build
time saved with the few tests I've tried.
The change may reorder compiler output and also generated code, but
should be generally safe and produce functionally identical code.
There are some rare cases that do not compile with it,
such as test/PCH/pch-instantiate-templates-forward-decl.cpp. If
template instantiation bailed out instead of reporting the error,
these instantiations could even be postponed, which would make them
work.
Enable this by default for clang-cl. MSVC creates PCHs by compiling
them using an empty .cpp file, which means templates are instantiated
while building the PCH and so the .h needs to be self-contained,
making test/PCH/pch-instantiate-templates-forward-decl.cpp to fail
with MSVC anyway. So the option being enabled for clang-cl matches this.

What's going on in the test case (without the patch applied) is this:
When the header is parsed, decltype(B()) is canonicalized to decltype(Y()),
because that was the first parsed equivalent decltype expression. Hence, the
TemplateSpecializationType for Id<decltype(B())> ends up with
SubstTemplateTypeParmType(T, decltype(Y())) as the AliasedType member.
When the PCH file is included and the AST reader reads Id<decltype(B())>, it
sees decltype(B()) before decltype(Y()). So, this time decltype(B()) ends up
being the canonical type for both decltypes, which leads to an assert violation
when the reader calls getSubstTemplateTypeParmType with the non-canonical
decltype(Y()) as the replacement type.
