Zachary Turner a7b041748d [CodeView] Don't output S_UDT symbols for forward decls.
S_UDT symbols are the debugger's "index" for all the structs,
typedefs, classes, and enums in a program.  If any of those
structs/classes don't have a complete declaration, or if there
is a typedef to something that doesn't have a complete definition,
then emitting the S_UDT is unhelpful because it doesn't give
the debugger enough information to do anything useful.  On the
other hand, it results in a huge size blow-up in the resulting
PDB, which is exacerbated by an order of magnitude when linking
with /DEBUG:FASTLINK.

With this patch, we drop S_UDT records for types that refer either
directly or indirectly (e.g. through a typedef, pointer, etc) to
a class/struct/union/enum without a complete definition.  This
brings us about 50% of the way towards parity with /DEBUG:FASTLINK
PDBs generated from cl-compiled object files.
