Running `clang-format` on the following input

  int lambdas() {
    return [&] { 
    return [&] { 
    return [&] { 
    return [&] { 
    return [&] { 
    return [&] { 
    return [&] { return 3; } (); 
    } (); } (); } (); } (); } (); } (); }

will finish instantly if you pass clang-format a .cpp input with this content, 
but hang for tens of seconds if you pass the same via stdin.

Adding some debug statements showed that guessIsObjC was getting called
tens of millions of times in a manner that scales very rapidly with the amount
of nesting (if `clang-format` just takes a few seconds with that input passed
on stdin, try adding a couple more levels of nesting).

This change moves the recursive guessIsObjC call one level of nesting out of
an inner loop whose iterations don't affect the input to the recursive call. This
resolves the performance issue.
