[lldb][NFC] Remove ImportInProgress lock in ClangASTSource
Summary: The ClangASTSource has a lock that globally disables all lookups into the external AST source when we explicitly "guarded" copy a type. It's not used for anything else, so importing declarations or importing types that are dependencies of a declaration actually won't activate that lock. The lookups it is supposed to prevent also don't actually happen in our test suite. The check in `ClangExpressionDeclMap::FindExternalVisibleDecls` is never executed and the check in the `ClangASTSource::FindExternalVisibleDeclsByName` is only ever reached by the `Import-std-module` tests (which explicitly do a lookup into the expression context on purpose). This lock was added in 6abfabff as a replacement for a list of types we already looked up which appeared to be an optimisation strategy. I assume back then this lock had a purpose but these days the ASTImporter and LLDB seem to be smart enough to avoid whatever lookups this tried to prevent. I would say we remove it from LLDB. The main reason is that it blocks D81561 (which explicitly does a specific lookup to resolve placeholder types produced by `-flimit-debug-info`) but it's semantics are also very confusing. The naming implies it's a flag to indicate when we import something at the moment which is practically never true as described above. Also the fact that it makes our ExternalASTSource alternate between doing lookups into the debug info and pretending it doesn't know any external decls could really break our lookup in some weird way if Clang decides to cache a fake empty lookup result that was generated while the lock was active.
