Somewhat surprisingly, signature help is emitted as a side-effect of
computing the expected type of a function argument.
The reason is that both actions require enumerating the possible
function signatures and running partial overload resolution, and doing
this twice would be wasteful and complicated.
Change #1: document this, it's subtle :-)
However, sometimes we need to compute the expected type without having
reached the code completion cursor yet - in particular to allow
completion of designators.
eb4ab3358c did this but introduced a
regression - it emits signature help in the wrong location as a side-effect.
Change #2: only emit signature help if the code completion cursor was reached.
Currently there is PP.isCodeCompletionReached(), but we can't use it
because it's set *after* running code completion.
It'd be nice to set this implicitly when the completion token is lexed,
but ConsumeCodeCompletionToken() makes this complicated.
Change #3: call cutOffParsing() *first* when seeing a completion token.
After this, the fact that the Sema::Produce*SignatureHelp() functions
are even more confusing, as they only sometimes do that.
I don't want to rename them in this patch as it's another large
mechanical change, but we should soon.
Change #4: prepare to rename ProduceSignatureHelp() to GuessArgumentType() etc.

PreferedType were not set when parsing compound literals, hence
designated initializers were not available as code completion suggestions.
This patch sets the preferedtype to parsed type for the following initializer
list.
