Introduce DeclaratorInfo and TypeLoc, intended to be used for storing and reading source information for types.

DeclaratorInfo will contain a flat memory block for source information about a type that came out of a declarator.
TypeLoc and its subclasses will be used by clients as wrappers to "traverse" the memory block and read the information.

Both DeclaratorInfo and TypeLoc are not utilized in this commit.
