[PDB] Hash types up front when merging types instead of using StringMap
Summary: First, StringMap uses llvm::HashString, which is only good for short identifiers and really bad for large blobs of binary data like type records. Moving to `DenseMap<StringRef, TypeIndex>` with some tricks for memory allocation fixes that. Unfortunately, that didn't buy very much performance. Profiling showed that we spend a long time during DenseMap growth rehashing existing entries. Also, in general, DenseMap is faster when the keys are small. This change takes that to the logical conclusion by introducing a small wrapper value type around a pointer to key data. The key data contains a precomputed hash, the original record data (pointer and size), and the type index, which is the "value" of our original map. This reduces the time to produce llvm-as.exe and llvm-as.pdb from ~15s on my machine to 3.5s, which is about a 4x improvement.
