Add Tooling functionality to get a name for a QualType that can be us…

…ed to name

that type from the global scope.

Vassil Vassilev and Philippe Canal.

+// Functionality to generate the fully-qualified names of QualTypes,
+// including recursively expanding any subtypes and template
+// parameters.
+//
+// More precisely: Generates a name that can be used to name the same
+// type if used at the end of the current translation unit--with
+// certain limitations. See below.
+//
+// This code desugars names only very minimally, so in this code:
+//
+// namespace A {
+//   struct X {};
+// }
+// using A::X;
+// namespace B {
+//   using std::tuple;
+//   typedef tuple<X> TX;
+//   TX t;
+// }
+//
+// B::t's type is reported as "B::TX", rather than std::tuple<A::X>.
+//
+// Also, this code replaces types found via using declarations with
+// their more qualified name, so for the code:
+//
+// using std::tuple;
+// tuple<int> TInt;
+//
+// TInt's type will be named, "std::tuple<int>".
+//
+// Limitations:
+//
+// Some types have ambiguous names at the end of a translation unit,
+// are not namable at all there, or are special cases in other ways.
+//
+// 1) Types with only local scope will have their local names:
+//
+// void foo() {
+//   struct LocalType {} LocalVar;
+// }
+//
+// LocalVar's type will be named, "struct LocalType", without any
+// qualification.
+//
+// 2) Types that have been shadowed are reported normally, but a
+// client using that name at the end of the translation unit will be
+// referring to a different type.
