        <pre>CompilerInstance::createPreprocessor should not be called more than once as
this will lead to a memory leak of the Preprocessor PP and probably to multiple
initializations of various other stuff such as what done in
InitializePreprocessor() = all sorts of trouble.

Yet, if an assert is added:

  void CompilerInstance::createPreprocessor(TranslationUnitKind TUKind) {
    assert(!PP);

three regression tests start failing, meaning they do call
CompilerInstance::createPreprocessor more than once and it's possible scenario.

Clang :: FixIt/fixit-recompile.c
Clang :: Misc/serialized-diags-single-issue.c
Clang :: PCH/local_static.cpp

The first two tests use fixit but the third do not.</pre>
