[flang-commits] [flang] [flang][NFC] do not copy fields in fir::RecordType::getTypeList (PR #145530)

[via flang-commits]

https://github.com/jeanPerier created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/145530

For historical reason, `fir::RecordType::getTypeList` was returning an std::vector, causing the entire field list to be copied when called.

It is called a lot indirectly in all type helpers, which themselves are called a lot in derived type heavy code like WRF.
The `fir::hasDynamicType` helper is also called a lot, and it can just check for length parameters to avoid looping on all derived type components in most cases.
 
This fix should speed-up WRF compilation by 10-30%.
