[cfe-dev] Force __builtin_va_list to be a char* in any architecture?

[Mikhail Ramalho via cfe-dev]

We don't actually want to add an option to clang, I phrased that
incorrectly.

We use libtooling to generate the program AST; clang is only the frontend
to our tool.

We have no intent to break the ABI, or to expose such flag to the command
line. If we indeed need a flag to achieve this, it would be an option when
creating the ASTContext.
