Ensure that all needed retained types are mapped in, and as declarations.

The retained composite types needed in the dest module include not only
those reached by mapped subprograms, but also those in the scope-chain
of other needed composite types. Because the full composite type will
be emitted in the original module, only the type declaration is needed
in the dest module. Therefore, a new composite type is constructed for
the dest module, and only fields required for a declaration are
populated, and the FlagFwdDecl flag is set.

Different support is needed to detect the set of retained types
referenced by imported functions for normal metadata linking vs
postpass metadata linking. The former can simply look at which
retained types were added to the value map, whereas the latter needs to
recursively locate the retained types reached from needed subprograms
(which have not yet been mapped). This is similar to how we recursively
identify needed subprograms in the post-pass linking case.

The test cases were augmented to contain composite types referenced
in various ways, and check that the expected ones are imported as
type declarations.

Also tested by building 483.xalancbmk from SPEC with and without
postpass metadata linking. In both cases the size of the binary
was reduced around 28% with this patch.
