For module debugging we want to emit debug info for the data types defined by a clang module alongside the serialized clang ast when building pch/pcm files. This way we can avoid emitting tons of redundant types in the debug info of each object that was built against the module.

A tool that wants to parse *and* make use of clang modules or precompiled headers produced by clang will need to link against codegen. Tools that don’t want/need clang modules, or can use a separate module cache can continue to use the RawPCHContainerOperations without introducing any extra dependency. This currently true for all of clang-tools-extra, for example.
