[NativePDB] Rewrite the PdbSymUid to use our own custom namespacing scheme.
Originally we created our 64-bit UID scheme by using the first byte as sort of a "tag" to represent what kind of symbol this was, and we re-used the PDB_SymType enumeration for this. For native pdb support, this is not really the right abstraction layer, because what we really want is something that tells us *how* to find the symbol. This means, specifically, is in the globals stream / public stream / module stream / TPI stream / etc, and for whichever one it is in, where is it within that stream? A good example of why the old namespacing scheme was insufficient is that it is more or less impossible to create a uid for a field list member of a class/struction/union/enum that tells you how to locate the original record. With this new scheme, the first byte is no longer a PDB_SymType enum but a new enum created specifically to identify where in the PDB this record lives. This gives us much better flexibility in what kinds of symbols the uids can identify. llvm-svn: 347018
