Include getting generated struct offsets in CodegenABITypes
This change adds a new function, CodeGen::getFieldNumber, that enables a user of clang's code generation to get the field number in a generated LLVM IR struct that corresponds to a particular field in a C struct. It is important to expose this information in Clang's code generation interface because there is no reasonable way for users of Clang's code generation to get this information. In particular: LLVM struct types do not include field names. Clang adds a non-trivial amount of logic to the code generation of LLVM IR types for structs, in particular to handle padding and bit fields. Patch by Michael Ferguson!
