Jan Svoboda 6c1dbd5359 [clang] NFC: Remove {File,Directory}Entry::getName() (#74910)
The files and directories that Clang accesses are uniqued by their
inode. For each inode `FileManager` will create exactly one `FileEntry`
or `DirectoryEntry` object, which makes answering the question _"Are
these two files/directories the same?"_ a simple pointer equality check.

However, since the same inode can be accessed through multiple different
paths, asking the `FileEntry` or `DirectoryEntry` object _"What is your
name?"_ doesn't have clear semantics. In c0ff9908 we started reporting
the most recent name used to access the entry, which turned out to be
necessary for Clang modules. However, the long-term solution has always
been to explicitly track the as-requested name. This has been
implemented in 4dc5573a as `FileEntryRef` and `DirectoryEntryRef`.

The `DirectoryEntry::getName()` interface has been deprecated since the
Clang 17 release and `FileEntry::getName()` since Clang 18. We have
replaced uses of these deprecated APIs in `main` with
`DirectoryEntryRef::getName()` and `FileEntryRef::getName()`
respectively.

This makes it possible to remove `{File,Directory}Entry::getName()` for
good along with the `FileManager` code that implements them.
