Before this commit, sub-stmts were stored as encountered and when they were placed in the Stmts stack we had to know what index
each stmt operand has. This complicated supporting variable sub-stmts and sub-stmts that were contained in TypeSourceInfos, e.g.
x = sizeof(int[1]);
would crash PCH.
Now, sub-stmts are stored in reverse order, from last to first, so that when reading them, in order to get the next sub-stmt we just
need to pop the last stmt from the stack. This greatly simplified the way stmts are written and read (just use PCHWriter::AddStmt and
PCHReader::ReadStmt accordingly) and allowed variable stmt operands and TypeSourceInfo exprs.

This change introduces a new expression node type, OffsetOfExpr, that
describes __builtin_offsetof. Previously, __builtin_offsetof was
implemented using a unary operator whose subexpression involved
various synthesized array-subscript and member-reference expressions,
which was ugly and made it very hard to instantiate as a
template. OffsetOfExpr represents the AST more faithfully, with proper
type source information and a more compact representation.
OffsetOfExpr also has support for dependent __builtin_offsetof
expressions; it can be value-dependent, but will never be
type-dependent (like sizeof or alignof). This commit introduces
template instantiation for __builtin_offsetof as well.
There are two major caveats to this patch:
1) CodeGen cannot handle the case where __builtin_offsetof is not a
constant expression, so it produces an error. So, to avoid
regressing in C, we retain the old UnaryOperator-based
__builtin_offsetof implementation in C while using the shiny new
OffsetOfExpr implementation in C++. The old implementation can go
away once we have proper CodeGen support for this case, which we
expect won't cause much trouble in C++.
2) __builtin_offsetof doesn't work well with non-POD class types,
particularly when the designated field is found within a base
class. I will address this in a subsequent patch.
Fixes PR5880 and a bunch of assertions when building Boost.Python
tests.
