[Modules] Delay deserialization of preferred_name attribute at r… (#122726)

…ecord level.

This fixes the incorrect diagnostic emitted when compiling the following
snippet

```
// string_view.h
template<class _CharT>
class basic_string_view;

typedef basic_string_view<char> string_view;

template<class _CharT>
class
__attribute__((__preferred_name__(string_view)))
basic_string_view {
public:
    basic_string_view() 
    {
    }
};

inline basic_string_view<char> foo()
{
  return basic_string_view<char>();
}
// A.cppm
module;
#include "string_view.h"
export module A;

// Use.cppm
module;
#include "string_view.h"
export module Use;
import A;
```

The diagnostic is 
```
string_view.h:11:5: error: 'basic_string_view<char>::basic_string_view' from module 'A.<global>' is not present in definition of 'string_view' provided earlier
```

The underlying issue is that deserialization of the `preferred_name`
attribute triggers deserialization of `basic_string_view<char>`, which
triggers the deserialization of the `preferred_name` attribute again
(since it's attached to the `basic_string_view` template).
The deserialization logic is implemented in a way that prevents it from
going on a loop in a literal sense (it detects early on that it has
already seen the `string_view` typedef when trying to start its
deserialization for the second time), but leaves the typedef
deserialization in an unfinished state. Subsequently, the `string_view`
typedef from the deserialized module cannot be merged with the same
typedef from `string_view.h`, resulting in the above diagnostic.

This PR resolves the problem by delaying the deserialization of the
`preferred_name` attribute until the deserialization of the
`basic_string_view` template is completed. As a result of deferring, the
deserialization of the `preferred_name` attribute doesn't need to go on
a loop since the type of the `string_view` typedef is already known when
it's deserialized.

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.
