Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Introduce PagedVector class

The goal of the class is to be an (almost) drop in replacement for
SmallVector and std::vector when those are presized and filled later,
as it happens in SourceManager and ASTReader.

By splitting the actual vector in pages of the same size and allocating
the pages only when they are needed, using this containers reduces the
memory usage by a factor 4 for the cases relevant to the ALICE
experiment ROOT / cling usage.

    ``SmallVectorHeader`` might be more appropriate.

+
+llvm/ADT/PagedVector.h
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+``PagedVector<Type, PageSize>`` is a random access container that allocates (PageSize) elements
+of type Type when the first element of a page is accessed via the ``operator[]`` or the ``at()``
+method.  This is useful for the case in which the number of elements is known in advance and 
+their actual initialization is expensive and sparse so that it's only done lazily when the element is 
+accessed. Typical cases for this are the ASTReader::TypesLoaded and ASTReader::DeclsLoaded containers.
+
+The main advantage is that a PagedVector allows to delay the actual allocation of the page until it's needed,
+at the extra cost of one integer per page and one extra indirection when accessing elements with their positional
+index. 
+
+In order to maximise the memory footprint of this container, it's important to balance the PageSize so that 
+it's not too small (otherwise the overhead of the integer per page might become too high) and not too big 
+(otherwise the memory is wasted if the page is not fully used).
+
+The PagedVector can only be expanded at the end, and it's not possible to shrink it, to keep the implementation
+simple and not give the false hope that the resize operation is cheap.
+
+Moreover, while retaining the oder of the elements based on their insertion index, like a vector, iterating over
+the elements via begin() and end() is not provided in the API, due to the fact accessing the elements in order would
+allocate all the iterated pages, defeating memory savings and the purpose of the PagedVector.
+
+Finally a ``materialised()`` method is provided to access the elements associated to the accessed pages, which could
+speedup operations that need to iterate over initialized elements in a non-ordered manner.
