Saleem Abdulrasool f591e36b89 AST: support protocol conformances on id/class/interfaces in MS ABI
Add support for mangling ObjC protocol conformances in MS ABI as if they are
COM interfaces. By diverging from the itanium mangling of `objc_protocol`
prefixed names, this approach allows for a semi-reasonable, albeit of
questionable sanity, undecoration via existing tooling. There is also the
possibility of adding an extension and taking part of the namespace to add the
conformance via the `L` and `Z` "modifiers", but the existing tooling would not
be able to properly undecorated the symbol even though incidentally `undname`
currently produces something legible while wine's implementation is not able to
cope with the extension.

This allows for the disambiguation of overloads where the parameter differs
only in the protocol conformance of the ObjC type, e.g.

```
@protocol P;
void f(std::vector<id>);
void f(std::vector<id<P>>);
```

which clang would previously fail due to the mangling being identical as the
protocol conformance was ignored.

//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
// C Language Family Front-end
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Welcome to Clang.  This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages
(C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++) which is built as part of the LLVM
compiler infrastructure project.

Unlike many other compiler frontends, Clang is useful for a number of things
beyond just compiling code: we intend for Clang to be host to a number of
different source-level tools.  One example of this is the Clang Static Analyzer.

If you're interested in more (including how to build Clang) it is best to read
the relevant web sites.  Here are some pointers:
