  Log Message:
  -----------
  Add new 'preferred_name' attribute.

This attribute permits a typedef to be associated with a class template
specialization as a preferred way of naming that class template
specialization. This permits us to specify that (for example) the
preferred way to express 'std::basic_string<char>' is as 'std::string'.

The attribute is applied to the various class templates in libc++ that have
corresponding well-known typedef names.
