This PR implements HLSL's initialization list behvaior as specified in
the draft language specifcation under
[*Decl.Init.Agg*](https://microsoft.github.io/hlsl-specs/specs/hlsl.html
#Decl.Init.Agg).
This behavior is a bit unusual for C/C++ because intermediate braces in
initializer lists are ignored and a whole array of additional
conversions occur unintuitively to how initializaiton works in C.
The implementaiton in this PR generates a valid C/C++ initialization
list AST for the HLSL initializer so that there are no changes required
to Clang's CodeGen to support this. This design will also allow us to
use Clang's rewrite to convert HLSL initializers to valid C/C++
initializers that are equivalent. It does have the downside that it
will generate often redundant accesses during codegen. The IR optimizer
is extremely good at eliminating those so this will have no impact on
the final executable performance.
There is some opportunity for optimizing the initializer list
generation that we could consider in subsequent commits. One notable
opportunity would be to identify aggregate objects that occur in the
same place in both initializers and do not require converison, those
aggregates could be initialized as aggregates rather than fully
scalarized.
