Nicholas Bishop c8fdeef911 Add initial support for exporting generic Carbon functions to C++ (#7462)
This allows C++ to call Carbon functions with generic type parameters,
with some conditions. Example:
```carbon
interface I {
  fn Doit(self);
}
class A {
  impl as I { fn Doit(unused self) {} }
}
class B {
  impl as I { fn Doit(unused self) {} }
}
fn F[T:! I](t: T) {
  t.Doit();
}

inline Cpp '''
void G() {
  Carbon::A a;
  Carbon::B b;
  Carbon::F(a);
  Carbon::F(b);
}
''';
```

The initial support is limited; only explicit parameters are handled
currently.

`CarbonExternalASTSource::GetOrExportFunctionToCpp` now generates a
`clang::FunctionTemplateDecl` for generic Carbon functions. If C++ code
attempts to call that templated function,
`CarbonExternalASTSource::LoadExternalSpecializations` will be called
with the template argument types of that call site. Then we can generate
a specialized thunk for those argument types for C++ to call.
