When the C++ function has a parameter that is not a pointer and not a
signed integer of 32 or 64 bits, generate a thunk.
Terminology:
* Callee function: The C++ function we actually want to call.
* Thunk function: The C++ function we generated that calls the callee
function.
* A simple ABI type, for now, is one of:
* A pointer
* signed integer with 32 bits
* signed integer with 64 bits
The thunk function is marked `always_inline` and uses the `asm`
attribute to set its mangled to the callee function mangled name
suffixed with `".carbon_thunk"`.
When importing a C++ function, we decide whether calling it requires a
thunk and if so we generate it and import it as well, which is currently
a recursive call.
When calling the thunk function, we initialize a temporary storage for
each non simple ABI parameter type and take its address. This can be
optimized when the variable is already in storage.
Not supported yet:
* Functions with non void return values.
* Member methods.
Moved unsigned int param test from `arithmetic_types_direct.carbon` to
`arithmetic_types_bridged.carbon`, since only signed integers aren't
bridged using a thunk.
C++ Interop Demo:
```c++
// hello_world.h
struct S {
S() {}
S(const S&) { x = 1; }
int x;
};
void hello_world(S s);
```
```c++
// hello_world.cpp
#include "hello_world.h"
#include <cstdio>
void hello_world2(S s) { printf("hello_world2: %d\n", s.x); }
void hello_world(S s) {
printf("hello_world: %d\n", s.x);
hello_world2(s);
}
```
```carbon
// main.carbon
library "Main";
import Cpp library "hello_world.h";
fn Run() -> i32 {
var s : Cpp.S;
Cpp.hello_world(s);
return 0;
}
```
```shell
$ clang -c hello_world.cpp
$ bazel-bin/toolchain/carbon compile main.carbon
$ bazel-bin/toolchain/carbon link hello_world.o main.o --output=demo
$ ./demo
hello_world: 1
hello_world2: 1
```
Before this change (no thunk - copy constructor not called when calling
`hello_world()`):
```shell
$ ./demo
hello_world: -1219172304
hello_world2: 1
```
