[cfe-dev] Decls are not synonyms for the symbols they represent

[Zhongxing Xu]

I think this is another useful concept separation as in TypeSpecifier and
Type.

A specific client that can benefit from this separation is the static
analysis tool. We can have an entity that represents the variable instead of
using one of the (perhaps redundant) declarations.
