When profiling a no-op incremental link of Chromium I found that the functions
computeImportForFunction and computeDeadSymbols were consuming roughly 10% of
the profile. The goal of this change is to improve the performance of those
functions by changing the map lookups that they were previously doing into
pointer dereferences.
This is achieved by changing the ValueInfo data structure to be a pointer to
an element of the global value map owned by ModuleSummaryIndex, and changing
reference lists in the GlobalValueSummary to hold ValueInfos instead of GUIDs.
This means that a ValueInfo will take a client directly to the summary list
for a given GUID.

I don't understand why/where this is needed/used, the comment does not seem enough here.
It seems to me that this make the in-memory CombinedIndex unnecessary larger.
