[AST] Split parent map traversal logic into ParentMapContext.h

Summary

The only part of ASTContext.h that requires most AST types to be
complete is the parent map. Nothing in Clang proper uses the ParentMap,
so split it out into its own class. Make ASTContext own the
ParentMapContext so there is still a one-to-one relationship.

After this change, 562 fewer files depend on ASTTypeTraits.h, and 66
fewer depend on TypeLoc.h:

$ diff -u deps-before.txt deps-after.txt | \
  grep '^[-+] ' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | less
    562 -    ../clang/include/clang/AST/ASTTypeTraits.h
    340 +    ../clang/include/clang/AST/ParentMapContext.h
     66 -    ../clang/include/clang/AST/TypeLocNodes.def
     66 -    ../clang/include/clang/AST/TypeLoc.h
     15 -    ../clang/include/clang/AST/TemplateBase.h
...

I computed deps-before.txt and deps-after.txt with ninja -t deps.

This removes a common and key dependency on TemplateBase.h and
TypeLoc.h.

This also has the effect of breaking the ParentMap RecursiveASTVisitor
instantiation into its own file, which roughly halves the compilation
time of ASTContext.cpp (29.75s -> 17.66s). The new file takes 13.8s to
compile.

I left behind forwarding methods for getParents(), but clients will need
to include a new header to make them work:

#include "clang/AST/ParentMapContext.h"

I noticed that this parent map functionality is unfortunately duplicated
in ParentMap.h, which only works for Stmt nodes.

Turns out this only worked for me locally because of delayed template parsing. I will have to think harder about how to preserve the API while not requiring complete types here. I could make an overload set, but I worry it will be inconveniently large.

I think I can land this version, but I'll wait until tomorrow so I'll be around to debug fallout.

This revision was automatically updated to reflect the committed changes.

Should this new class have some tests?
