MSVC supports an extension allowing to delete an array of objects via
pointer whose static type doesn't match its dynamic type. This is done
via generation of special destructors - vector deleting destructors.
MSVC's virtual tables always contain a pointer to the vector deleting
destructor for classes with virtual destructors, so not having this
extension implemented causes clang to generate code that is not
compatible with the code generated by MSVC, because clang always puts a
pointer to a scalar deleting destructor to the vtable. As a bonus the
deletion of an array of polymorphic object will work just like it does
with MSVC - no memory leaks and correct destructors are called.

This patch will cause clang to emit code that is compatible with code
produced by MSVC but not compatible with code produced with clang of
older versions, so the new behavior can be disabled via passing
-fclang-abi-compat=21 (or lower).

This is yet another attempt to land vector deleting destructors support
originally implemented by
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/133451.

This PR contains fixes for issues reported in the original PR as well as
fixes for issues related to operator delete[] search reported in several

<title>[win][clang] Align scalar deleting destructors with MSABI (#139566)</title>

While working on vector deleting destructors support
([GH19772](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/19772)), I
noticed that MSVC produces different code in scalar deleting destructor
body depending on whether class defined its own operator delete. In
MSABI deleting destructors accept an additional implicit flag parameter
allowing some sort of flexibility. The mismatch I noticed is that
whenever a global operator delete is called, i.e. `::delete`, in the
code produced by MSVC the implicit flag argument has a value that makes
the 3rd bit set, i.e. "5" for scalar deleting destructors "7" for vector
deleting destructors.
Prior to this patch, clang handled `::delete` via calling global
operator delete direct after the destructor call and not calling class
operator delete in scalar deleting destructor body by passing "0" as
implicit flag argument value. This is fine until there is an attempt to
link binaries compiled with clang with binaries compiled with MSVC. The
problem is that in binaries produced by MSVC the callsite of the
destructor won't call global operator delete because it is assumed that
the destructor will do that and a destructor body generated by clang
will never do.
This patch removes call to global operator delete from the callsite and
add additional check of the 3rd bit of the implicit parameter inside of
scalar deleting destructor body.

<title>[clang] Improve nested name specifier AST representation (#147835)</title>

<id>91cdd35008e9ab32dffb7e401cdd7313b3461892</id>
<content type='text'>
This is a major change on how we represent nested name qualifications in
the AST.

* The nested name specifier itself and how it's stored is changed. The
prefixes for types are handled within the type hierarchy, which makes
canonicalization for them super cheap, no memory allocation required.
Also translating a type into nested name specifier form becomes a no-op.
An identifier is stored as a DependentNameType. The nested name
specifier gains a lightweight handle class, to be used instead of
passing around pointers, which is similar to what is implemented for
TemplateName. There is still one free bit available, and this handle can
be used within a PointerUnion and PointerIntPair, which should keep
bit-packing aficionados happy.
* The ElaboratedType node is removed, all type nodes in which it could
previously apply to can now store the elaborated keyword and name
qualifier, tail allocating when present.
* TagTypes can now point to the exact declaration found when producing
these, as opposed to the previous situation of there only existing one
TagType per entity. This increases the amount of type sugar retained,
and can have several applications, for example in tracking module
ownership, and other tools which care about source file origins, such as
IWYU. These TagTypes are lazily allocated, in order to limit the
increase in AST size.

This patch offers a great performance benefit.

It greatly improves compilation time for
[stdexec](https://github.com/NVIDIA/stdexec). For one datapoint, for
`test_on2.cpp` in that project, which is the slowest compiling test,
this patch improves `-c` compilation time by about 7.2%, with the
`-fsyntax-only` improvement being at ~12%.

This has great results on compile-time-tracker as well:

![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/700dce98-2cab-4aa8-97d1-b038c0bee831)

This patch also further enables other optimziations in the future, and
will reduce the performance impact of template specialization resugaring
when that lands.

It has some other miscelaneous drive-by fixes.

About the review: Yes the patch is huge, sorry about that. Part of the
reason is that I started by the nested name specifier part, before the
ElaboratedType part, but that had a huge performance downside, as
ElaboratedType is a big performance hog. I didn't have the steam to go
back and change the patch after the fact.

There is also a lot of internal API changes, and it made sense to remove
ElaboratedType in one go, versus removing it from one type at a time, as
that would present much more churn to the users. Also, the nested name
specifier having a different API avoids missing changes related to how
prefixes work now, which could make existing code compile but not work.

How to review: The important changes are all in
`clang/include/clang/AST` and `clang/lib/AST`, with also important
changes in `clang/lib/Sema/TreeTransform.h`.

The rest and bulk of the changes are mostly consequences of the changes
in API.

PS: TagType::getDecl is renamed to `getOriginalDecl` in this patch, just
for easier to rebasing. I plan to rename it back after this lands.

This is a first pass at implementing
[P2841R7](https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2025/p2841r7.pdf).

The implementation is far from complete; however, I'm aiming to do that
in chunks, to make our lives easier.

In particular, this does not implement
 - Subsumption
 - Mangling
- Satisfaction checking is minimal as we should focus on #141776 first
(note that I'm currently very stuck)

FTM, release notes, status page, etc, will be updated once the feature
is more mature. Given the state of the feature, it is not yet allowed in
older language modes.

Of note: 
- Mismatches between template template arguments and template template
parameters are a bit wonky. This is addressed by #130603
- We use `UnresolvedLookupExpr` to model template-id. While this is
pre-existing, I have been wondering if we want to introduce a different
OverloadExpr subclass for that. I did not make the change in this patch.</content>

This patch stops storing a source range in `CXXOperatorCallExpr` and
keeps only the begin location.

This change allows us to retain the optimization #141058 when switching
to 64-bit source locations.

All deserialized VarDecl initializers are EvaluatedStmt, but not all
EvaluatedStmt initializers are from a PCH. Calling
`VarDecl::hasInitWithSideEffects` can trigger constant evaluation, but
it's hard to know ahead of time whether that will trigger
deserialization - even if the initializer is fully deserialized, it may
contain a call to a constructor whose body is not deserialized. By
caching the result of `VarDecl::hasInitWithSideEffects` and populating
that cache during deserialization we can guarantee that calling it won't
trigger deserialization regardless of the state of the initializer.
This also reduces memory usage by removing the `InitSideEffectVars` set
in `ASTReader`.
