Implement the writer side of the global module index.
The global module index is a "global" index for all of the module files within a particular subdirectory in the module cache, which keeps track of all of the "interesting" identifiers and selectors known in each of the module files. One can perform a fast lookup in the index to determine which module files will have more information about entities with a particular name/selector. This information can help eliminate redundant lookups into module files (a serious performance problem) and help with creating auto-import/auto-include Fix-Its. The global module index is created or updated at the end of a translation unit that has triggered a (re)build of a module by scraping all of the .pcm files out of the module cache subdirectory, so it catches everything. As with module rebuilds, we use the file system's atomicity to synchronize. llvm-svn: 173301
