Introduce a fast path for the ASTReader's name lookup within a
DeclContext. When the DeclContext is of a kind that can only be defined once and never updated, we limit the search to the module file that conatins the lookup table. Provides a 15% speedup in one modules-heavy source file. git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/cfe/trunk@173050 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

+/// \brief Retrieve the "definitive" declaration that provides all of the
+/// visible entries for the given declaration context, if there is one.
+///
+/// The "definitive" declaration is the only place where we need to look to
+/// find information about the declarations within the given declaration
+/// context. For example, C++ and Objective-C classes, C structs/unions, and
+/// Objective-C protocols, categories, and extensions are all defined in a
+/// single place in the source code, so they have definitive declarations
+/// associated with them. C++ namespaces, on the other hand, can have
+/// multiple definitions.
