[cfe-dev] Designated initialization warns if struct members are not in declaration order

[Daniel Dunbar]

Although I can't say I'm fond of adding options for this particular
behavior, how bad would it be to put a bit in LangOptions saying "dont
support designated initializers" and only set this bit for IR generation.
This would prevent the user from seeing unrelated errors due to the
misanalysis of designated initializers, i.e. excess elements warnings and be
simpler to add (and remove).
