Reland [clang] Pass -clear-ast-before-backend in Clang::ConstructJob()

This clears the memory used for the Clang AST before we run LLVM passes.

https://llvm-compile-time-tracker.com/compare.php?from=d0a5f61c4f6fccec87fd5207e3fcd9502dd59854&to=b7437fee79e04464dd968e1a29185495f3590481&stat=max-rss
shows significant memory savings with no slowdown (in fact -O0 slightly speeds up).

For more background, see
https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/cfe-dev/2021-September/068930.html.

Turn this off for the interpreter since it does codegen multiple times.

Relanding with fix for -print-stats: D111973

Relanding with fix for plugins: D112190

If you'd like to use this even with plugins, consider using the features
introduced in D112096.

This can be turned off with -Xclang -no-clear-ast-before-backend.
