Per review feedback the name was wrong and it can be used outside
Objective-C.
Unfortunately, making the internal struct visible broke some ASTMatchers
tests that assumed that the first record decl would be from user code,
rather than a builtin type. I'm worried that this will also affect
users' code. So this patch adds a typedef to wrap the internal struct
and only makes the typedef visible to namelookup. This is sufficient to
allow the ASTReader to merge the decls we need without making the struct
itself visible.

Original message:
Make CF constant string decl visible to name lookup to fix module errors
The return type of the __builtin___*StringMakeConstantString functions
is a pointer to a struct, so we need that struct to be visible to name
lookup so that we will correctly merge multiple declarations of that
type if they come from different modules.
Incidentally, to make this visible to name lookup we need to rename the
type to __NSConstantString, since the real NSConstantString is an
Objective-C interface type. This shouldn't affect anyone outside the
compiler since users of the constant string builtins cast the result
immediately to CFStringRef.
Since this struct type is otherwise implicitly created by the AST
context and cannot access namelookup, we make this a predefined type
and initialize it in Sema.
Note: this issue of builtins that refer to types not visible to name
lookup technically also affects other builtins (e.g. objc_msgSendSuper),
but in all other cases the builtin is a library builtin and the issue
goes away if you include the library that defines the types it uses,
unlike for these constant string builtins.

-fno-objc-arc-exceptions. This will allow the optimizer to perform
optimizations which are only safe under that flag.
