Introduce CXXStdInitializerListExpr node, representing the implicit
construction of a std::initializer_list<T> object from its underlying array.
The AST representation of such an expression goes from an InitListExpr with a
flag set, to a CXXStdInitializerListExpr containing a MaterializeTemporaryExpr
containing an InitListExpr (possibly wrapped in a CXXBindTemporaryExpr).
This more detailed representation has several advantages, the most important of
which is that the new MaterializeTemporaryExpr allows us to directly model
lifetime extension of the underlying temporary array. Using that, this patch
*drastically* simplifies the IR generation of this construct, provides IR
generation support for nested global initializer_list objects, fixes several
bugs where the destructors for the underlying array would accidentally not get
invoked, and provides constant expression evaluation support for
std::initializer_list objects.

handle temporaries which have been lifetime-extended to static storage duration
within constant expressions. This correctly handles nested lifetime extension
(through reference members of aggregates in aggregate initializers) but
non-constant-expression emission hasn't yet been updated to do the same.

non-constant constructors or non-trivial destructors. Plus bugfixes for
thread_local references bound to temporaries (the temporaries themselves are
lifetime-extended to become thread_local), and the corresponding case for
std::initializer_list.

This emits a backing array with internal linkage and fills it with data,
then has the initializer_list point at the array. Dynamic initialization
and global destructors are correctly supported.
What doesn't work is nested initializer_lists. I have no idea how to
get them to work, either. However, these should be very rare, and so
I'll just call it a known bug and declare generalized initializers
DONE!

We now generate temporary arrays to back std::initializer_list objects
initialized with braces. The initializer_list is then made to point at
the array. We support both ptr+size and start+end forms, although
the latter is untested.
Array lifetime is correct for temporary std::initializer_lists (e.g.
call arguments) and local variables. It is untested for new expressions
and member initializers.
Things left to do:
Massively increase the amount of testing. I need to write tests for
start+end init lists, temporary objects created as a side effect of
initializing init list objects, new expressions, member initialization,
creation of temporary objects (e.g. std::vector) for initializer lists,
and probably more.
Get lifetime "right" for member initializers and new expressions. Not
that either are very useful.
Implement list-initialization of array new expressions.
