Repro reduced

Clang-4.0 (and trunk) are crashing when building Unreal Engine, a PCH can't be
read back we hit this assertion. I believe this is a regression from clang-3.9
introduced in r276159:

Author: Richard Smith <<a href="mailto:richard-llvm@metafoo.co.uk">richard-llvm@metafoo.co.uk</a>>

    [modules] Don't emit initializers for VarDecls within a module eagerly
whenever
    we first touch any part of that module. Instead, defer them until the first
    time that module is (transitively) imported. The initializer step for a
module
    then recursively initializes modules that its own headers imported.

    For example, this avoids running the <iostream> global initializer in
programs
    that don't actually use iostreams, but do use other parts of the standard
    library.


Reduced repro attached. Run with:

clang -c -x objective-c++-header pre.h -std=c++14 -o pre.gch
clang -c -x objective-c++ /dev/null    -std=c++14 -include-pch pre.gch</pre>
