Building on top of PR #79288, this update synthesizes a static factory method using the default new operator, with a call to the default constructor expression for C++ foreign reference types, and imports them as Swift initializers.

This commit removes the guardrails in ImportDecl.cpp:SwiftDeclConverter
that prevent it from importing non-public C++ members. It also
accordingly adjusts all code that assumes generated Swift decls should
be public. This commit does not import non-public inherited members;
that needs its own follow-up patch.
Note that Swift enforces stricter invariants about access levels than C++.
For instance, public typealiases cannot be assigned private underlying types,
and public functions cannot take or return private types. Meanwhile,
both of these patterns are supported in C++, where exposing private types
from a class's public interface is considered feature. As far as I am aware,
Swift was already importing such private-containing public decls from C++
already, but I added a test suite, access inversion, that checks and
documents this scenario, to ensure that it doesn't trip any assertions.
This adds a new implementation of virtual method dispatch that handles reference types correctly.
Previously, for all C++ types an invocation of a virtual method would actually get dispatched statically. For value types this is expected and matches what C++ does because of slicing. For reference types, however, this is incorrect, we should do dynamic dispatch.

This allows calling a C++ function with default arguments from Swift without having to explicitly specify the values of all arguments.

C++ `T& operator*()` is mapped to a Swift computed property `var pointee: T`.
Previously `var pointee` only had a getter, after this change it will also have a setter if the C++ type declares an overload of `operator*` that returns a mutable reference.

C++ pre-increment operator `T& T::operator++()` is mapped into a non-mutating function `successor() -> Self`.
The naming matches existing functions for `UnsafePointer`/`UnsafeMutablePointer`.
The purpose of this is to be used for iterator bridging: C++ requires iterators to define a pre-increment operator (https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/named_req/Iterator), which Swift will use to iterate over C++ sequences and collections.
`ImportDecl.cpp` contained 10k+ lines of code, which caused slowdowns in incremental compilation and while editing the code in the IDE.
This change extracts a chunk of largely self-contained decl synthesis logic into a separate file.
