This commit adds -sil-output-path and -ir-output-path frontend options that
allow generating SIL and LLVM IR files as supplementary outputs during normal
compilation.
These options can be useful for debugging and analysis tools
workflows that need access to intermediate compilation artifacts
without requiring separate compiler invocations.
Expected behaviour:
Primary File mode:
- SIL: Generates one .sil file per source file
- IR: Generates one .ll file per source file
Single-threaded WMO mode:
- SIL: Generates one .sil file for the entire module
- IR: Generates one .ll file for the entire module
Multi-threaded WMO mode:
- SIL: Generates one .sil file for the entire module
- IR: Generates separate .ll files per source file
File Maps with WMO:
- Both SIL and IR outputs using first entry's naming, which is
consistent with the behaviour of other supplementary outputs.

CAS support in compiler relies on supplementary paths to decide the mapping between input and output files. Therefore, we
have to compute the paths of the module ObjC trace files in this canonical place to have CAS support for
this newly added ObjC message trace files.
It has an extension .package.swiftinterface and contains package decls
as well as SPIs and public/inlinable decls. When a module is loaded
from interface, it now looks up the package-name in the interface
and checks if the importer is in the same package. If so, it uses
that package interface found to load the module. If not, uses the existing
logic to load modules.

An "API descriptor" file is JSON describing the externally accessible symbols
of a module and metadata associated with those symbols like availability and
SPI status. This output was previously only generated by the
`swift-api-extract` alias of `swift-frontend`, which is desgined to take an
already built module as input. Post-processing a built module to extract this
information is inefficient because the module and the module's dependencies
need to be deserialized in order to visit the entire AST. We can generate this
output more efficiently as a supplementary output of the -emit-module job that
originally produced the module (since the AST is already available in-memory).
The -emit-api-descriptor flag can be used to request this output.
This change lays the groundwork by introducing frontend flags. Follow up
changes are needed to make API descriptor emission during -emit-module
functional.
