b4abb47a65 [cxx-interop] Mark un-specialized class templates as unavailable in Swift.
They don't really work, so let's not "support" them yet.

839839f924 [cxx-interop] Rename enable-cxx-interop -> enable-experimental-cxx-interop.
Also removes the driver flag, this will now also always be guarded on `-Xfrontend`.

4f5c75a236 [cxx-interop] Instantiate C++ class templates from Swift (#33284)
This PR makes it possible to instantiate C++ class templates from Swift. Given a C++ header:

```c++
// C++ module `ClassTemplates`
template<class T>
struct MagicWrapper {
  T t;
};

struct MagicNumber {};
```

it is now possible to write in Swift:

```swift
import ClassTemplates

func x() -> MagicWrapper<MagicNumber> {
  return MagicWrapper<MagicNumber>()
}
```

This is achieved by importing C++ class templates as generic structs, and then when Swift type checker calls `applyGenericArguments` we detect when the generic struct is backed by the C++ class template and call Clang to instantiate the template. In order to make it possible to put class instantiations such as `MagicWrapper<MagicNumber>` into Swift signatures, we have created a new field in `StructDecl` named `TemplateInstantiationType` where the typechecker stores the `BoundGenericType` which we serialize. Deserializer then notices that the `BoundGenericType` is actually a C++ class template and performs the instantiation logic.

Depends on https://github.com/apple/swift/pull/33420.
Progress towards https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-13261.
Fixes https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-13775.
