Build out the necessary infrastructure for the main entry point into
ClangIR generation -- CIRGenModule. A set of boilerplate classes exist
to facilitate this -- CIRGenerator, CIRGenAction, EmitCIRAction and
CIRGenConsumer. These all mirror the corresponding types from LLVM
generation by Clang's CodeGen.
The main entry point to CIR generation is
`CIRGenModule::buildTopLevelDecl`. It is currently just an empty
function. We've added a test to ensure that the pipeline reaches this
point and doesn't fail, but does nothing else. This will be removed in
one of the subsequent patches that'll add basic `cir.func` emission.
This patch also re-adds `-emit-cir` to the driver. lib/Driver/Driver.cpp
requires that a driver flag exists to facilirate the selection of the
right actions for the driver to create. Without a driver flag you get
the standard behaviors of `-S`, `-c`, etc. If we want to emit CIR IR
and, eventually, bytecode we'll need a driver flag to force this. This
is why `-emit-llvm` is a driver flag. Notably, `-emit-llvm-bc` as a cc1
flag doesn't ever do the right thing. Without a driver flag it is
incorrectly ignored and an executable is emitted. With `-S` a file named
`something.s` is emitted which actually contains bitcode.
