I've pushed some Phab reviews to complete the port.  For convenience, the 
commits can be seen together on my github:

 https://github.com/steveire/clang/commits/API-cleanup

 https://github.com/steveire/clang-tools-extra/commits/API-cleanup

My intention is to push all except the actual removal of the old API at 
first, then push the removal of the old API 3 or so weeks later.

Thanks,

Stephen.
