Summary:
The MSVC ABI appears to mangle the lexical scope into the names of
statics. Specifically, a counter is incremented whenever a scope is
entered where things can be declared in such a way that an ambiguity can
arise. For example, a class scope inside of a class scope doesn't do
anything interesting because the nested class cannot collide with
another nested class.
There are problems with this scheme:
- It is unreliable. The counter is only incremented when a previously
never encountered scope is entered. There are cases where this will
cause ambiguity amongst declarations that have the same name where one
was introduced in a deep scope while the other was introduced right
after in the previous lexical scope.
- It is wasteful. Statements like: {{{{{{{ static int foo = a; }}}}}}}
will make the mangling of "foo" larger than it need be because the
scope counter has been incremented many times.
Because of these problems, and practical implementation concerns. We
choose not to implement this scheme if the local static or local type
isn't visible. The mangling of these declarations will look very
similar but the numbering will make far more sense, this scheme is
lifted from the Itanium ABI implementation.

This makes the C++ ABI depend entirely on the target: MS ABI for -win32 triples,
Itanium otherwise. It's no longer possible to do weird combinations.
To be able to run a test with a specific ABI without constraining it to a
specific triple, new substitutions are added to lit: %itanium_abi_triple and
%ms_abi_triple can be used to get the current target triple adjusted to the
desired ABI. For example, if the test suite is running with the i686-pc-win32
target, %itanium_abi_triple will expand to i686-pc-mingw32.

- Support mangling virtual function tables (base tables need work on the
ManglerContext interface).
- Correct mangling of local scopes (i.e. functions and C++ methods).
- Replace every llvm_unreachable() for actually-reachable code with a
diagnostic.
