Previously the type dumper itself was passed around to a lot of different
places and manipulated in ways that were more appropriate on the type
database. For example, the entire TypeDumper was passed into the symbol
dumper, when all the symbol dumper wanted to do was lookup the name of a
TypeIndex so it could print it. That's what the TypeDatabase is for --
mapping type indices to names.
Another example is how if the user runs llvm-pdbdump with the option to
dump symbols but not types, we still have to visit all types so that we
can print minimal information about the type of a symbol, but just without
dumping full symbol records. The way we did this before is by hacking it
up so that we run everything through the type dumper with a null printer,
so that the output goes to /dev/null. But really, we don't need to dump
anything, all we want to do is build the type database. Since
TypeDatabaseVisitor now exists independently of TypeDumper, we can do
this. We just build a custom visitor callback pipeline that includes a
database visitor but not a dumper.
All the hackery around printers etc goes away. After this patch, we could
probably even delete the entire CVTypeDumper class since really all it is
at this point is a thin wrapper that hides the details of how to build a
useful visitation pipeline. It's not a priority though, so CVTypeDumper
remains for now.
After this patch we will be able to easily plug in a different style of
type dumper by only implementing the proper visitation methods to dump
one-line output and then sticking it on the pipeline.

Type visitor code had already been refactored previously to
decouple the visitor and the visitor callback interface. This
was necessary for having the flexibility to visit in different
ways (for example, dumping to yaml, reading from yaml, dumping
to ScopedPrinter, etc).
This patch merely implements the same visitation pattern for
symbol records that has already been implemented for type records.

This converts remaining uses of ByteStream, which was still
left in the symbol stream and type stream, to using the new
StreamInterface zero-copy classes.
RecordIterator is finally deleted, so this is the only way left
now. Additionally, more error checking is added when iterating
the various streams.
With this, the transition to zero copy pdb access is complete.

Due to differences in template instantiation rules, it is not
portable to static_assert(false) inside of an invalid specialization
of a template. Instead I just =delete the method so that it can't
be used, and leave a comment that it must be explicitly specialized.

This reverts commit r271024 due to error: static_assert failed
"You must either provide a specialization of VarStreamArrayExtractor
or a custom extractor"
