Nicholas Bishop f2c94517cc Reland "Fix crash from accessing a Check::Context during lowering (#7335)" (#7359)
In generate_ast.cpp, an `CarbonExternalASTSource` is installed that has
a `Check::Context` pointer. During lowering, this `ExternalASTSource` is
still installed, and using it can cause a crash if the now-invalid
pointer is dereferenced.

Fix by adding a new `ReadOnlyASTSource` in sem_ir, and using that during
lowering.

`CarbonExternalASTSource` now inherits from `ReadOnlyASTSource` to avoid
some code duplication.

In generate_ast.cpp, we now always install a multiplex source, even if
there's only one child source. Clang internally keeps pointers to the
top-level `ExternalASTSource` installed via `setExternalSource`, and
those pointers aren't updated if `setExternalSource` is called again. By
using `MultiplexExternalSemaSource`, we can keep the top-level
`ExternalASTSource` pointer the same, and only update its children.

Using `MultiplexExternalSemaSource` this way requires a new constructor
and a method to modify its child sources; added a new LLVM patch adding
those.

Originally landed in #7335, reverted in #7353 due to ASAN errors.
Changes since original:
* Use LLVM RTTI to make `Lower::Context::Finalize` less brittle.
Add LLVM RTTI to `ReadOnlyASTSource` (and `CarbonExternalASTSource`).
Change Finalize so that instead of just deleting the last multiplex
child source, it erases any multiplex child sources that match
`ReadOnlyASTSource`; this includes `CarbonExternalASTSource` since it's
a subclass.
* Fix ASAN error by updating the `MultiplexExternalSemaSource` earlier
in lowering. It is sometimes accessed during PrepareToLower, so update
it in `Context::GetFileContext` rather than `Context::Finalize`.
