6f1f59a385 Initial Reverse Interop implementation (#6901)
Add a clang::ExternalASTSource to begin exposing Carbon entities to
Clang - initially only a single `Carbon` top level namespace.

Subsequent work will add Carbon entities to this namespace.

Likely this CarbonExternalASTSource will be refactored into another
file, tie into/reference SemIR::File and CppFile, etc eventually - but
that'll wait for future patches.

If there's mechanical problems with the current implementation - how I'm
creating the new NamespaceDecl, etc - I'm all ears. It's very much in
the "it seems to work" state, not much more than that.

This does break Clang Modules (header modules, C++20 modules,
precompiled headers, etc) since they're implemented as an
ExternalASTSource as well, and Clang's ASTContext only supports one
ExternalASTSource at a time. To fix that regression we'll need to
implement some kind of ExternalASTSource multiplexing support - either
in Clang or Carbon (unclear which).

This regression of modules support can be observed by the following:
`A.h`
```
inline void f1() { }
```
`module.modulemap`
```
module A {
  header "A.h"
  export *
}
```
`test.carbon`
```
import Cpp inline '''
// Hardcode the pragma to ensure this isn't silently falling back to
// textual inclusion.
void f2() {
  f1();
}
''';
```
```
carbon compile test.carbon -- -I . -fmodules -fimplicit-modules -fmodules-cache-path=module_cache
```

I wrote a `file_test` test for this, but it doesn't /quite/ work because
`file_test` provides an in-memory filesystem for tests to make them more
hermetic, but Clang's Filesystem abstrtaction is for reading only - so
the module that's written out successfully can't be found when it needs
to be read back in - so the test doesn't pass as a baseline. Clang does
have support for `llvm::vfs::OutputBackend` which allows virtualizing
output - which I guess we could tie together with the InMemoryFilesystem
we use for input to make such a test work. But I guess that's not worth
the effort here?
