[lldb][ClangExpressionParser] Implement ExternalSemaSource::ReadUndefinedButUsed (#104817)

While parsing an expression, Clang tries to diagnose usage of decls
(with possibly non-external linkage) for which it hasn't been provided
with a definition. This is the case, e.g., for functions with parameters
that live in an anonymous namespace (those will have `UniqueExternal`
linkage, this is computed [here in
computeTypeLinkageInfo](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/ea8bb4d633683f5cbfd82491620be3056f347a02/clang/lib/AST/Type.cpp#L4647-L4653)).
Before diagnosing such situations, Clang calls
`ExternalSemaSource::ReadUndefinedButUsed`. The intended use of this API
is to extend the set of "used but not defined" decls with additional
ones that the external source knows about. However, in LLDB's case, we
never provide `FunctionDecl`s with a definition, and instead rely on the
expression parser to resolve those symbols by linkage name. Thus, to
avoid the Clang parser from erroring out in these situations, this patch
implements `ReadUndefinedButUsed` which just removes the "undefined"
non-external `FunctionDecl`s that Clang found.

We also had to add an `ExternalSemaSource` to the `clang::Sema` instance
LLDB creates. We previously didn't have any source on `Sema`. Because we
add the `ExternalASTSourceWrapper` here, that means we'd also
technically be adding the `ClangExpressionDeclMap` as an
`ExternalASTSource` to `Sema`, which is fine because `Sema` will only be
calling into the `ExternalSemaSource` APIs (though nothing currently
strictly enforces this, which is a bit worrying).

Note, the decision for whether to put a function into `UndefinedButUsed`
is done in
[Sema::MarkFunctionReferenced](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/ea8bb4d633683f5cbfd82491620be3056f347a02/clang/lib/Sema/SemaExpr.cpp#L18083-L18087).
The `UniqueExternal` linkage computation is done in
[getLVForNamespaceScopeDecl](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/ea8bb4d633683f5cbfd82491620be3056f347a02/clang/lib/AST/Decl.cpp#L821-L833).

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
