objc data structure design

[Geoffrey Keating <geoffk at apple dot com>]

Following discussion with Zem, we've agreed that the objc data 
structure design will proceed as follows:

Zem will take this patch:

 struct lang_type_ptrmem GTY(())

(with comments and possibly field names improved), and determine what 
impact it has on C and C++ compile time, and C and C++ PCH size.  For 
C++, he'll use our Finder_FE benchmark for both time and PCH size, for 
C I suggest that the PCH be one that just contains

#include <Carbon/Carbon.h>

on Darwin, and use some reasonable and convenient benchmark for time.

If these results show that there's not significant degradation, that is 
less than 1% for compile speed and increase in PCH size, then this 
should solve his problem and let him proceed with the objc data 
structure changes.  If there is significant degradation, we'll look at 
making these fields be inserted only when they're actually needed.
