Before this change, we would pass all non-HFA record arguments on
Windows with byval. Byval often blocks optimizations and results in bad
code generation. Windows now uses the existing workaround that other
x86_32 platforms use.
I also expanded the workaround to handle C++ records with constructors
on Windows. On non-Windows platforms, we have to keep generating the
same LLVM IR prototypes if we want our bitcode to be ABI compatible.
Otherwise we will encounter mismatch issues like PR21573.
Essentially fixes PR27522 in Clang instead of LLVM.

The sret paramater consumes the register after the implicit 'this'
parameter, as with other calling conventions.
Fixes PR20278, which turned out to be very easy.

Summary:
MSVC always passes 'sret' after 'this', unlike GCC. This required
changing a number of places in Clang that assumed the sret parameter was
always first in LLVM IR.
This fixes win64 MSVC ABI compatibility for methods returning structs.

This fixes PR15768, where the sret parameter and the 'this' parameter
are in the wrong order.
Instance methods compiled by MSVC never return records in registers,
they always return indirectly through an sret pointer. That sret
pointer always comes after the 'this' parameter, for both __cdecl and
__thiscall methods.
Unfortunately, the same is true for other calling conventions, so we'll
have to change the overall approach here relatively soon.
