Reland [clang][modules-driver] Add scanner to detect C++20 module presence (#153497)
This patch is part of a series to support driver managed module builds
for C++ named modules and Clang modules.
This introduces a scanner that detects C++ named module usage early in
the driver with only negligible overhead.

For now, it is enabled only with the `-fmodules-driver` flag and serves
solely diagnostic purposes. In the future, the scanner will be enabled
for any (modules-driver compatible) compilation with two or more inputs,
and will help the driver determine whether to implicitly enable the
modules driver.

Since the scanner adds very little overhead, we are also exploring
enabling it for compilations with only a single input. This approach
could allow us to detect `import std` usage in a single-file
compilation, which would then activate the modules driver. For
performance measurements on this, see

This patch relands the reland (2d31fc8) for commit ded1426. The earlier
reland failed due to a missing link dependency on `clangLex`. This
reland fixes the issue by adding the link dependency after discussing it
in the following RFC:
