Zachary Turner 5f8e1427eb [CodeView] Simplify the use of visiting type records & streams.
There is often a lot of boilerplate code required to visit a type
record or type stream.  The #1 use case is that you have a sequence
of bytes that represent one or more records, and you want to
deserialize each one, switch on it, and call a callback with the
deserialized record that the user can examine.  Currently this
requires at least 6 lines of code:

  codeview::TypeVisitorCallbackPipeline Pipeline;
  Pipeline.addCallbackToPipeline(Deserializer);
  Pipeline.addCallbackToPipeline(MyCallbacks);

  codeview::CVTypeVisitor Visitor(Pipeline);
  consumeError(Visitor.visitTypeRecord(Record));

With this patch, it becomes one line of code:

  consumeError(codeview::visitTypeRecord(Record, MyCallbacks));

This is done by having the deserialization happen internally inside
of the visitTypeRecord function.  Since this is occasionally not
desirable, the function provides a 3rd parameter that can be used
to change this behavior.

Hopefully this can significantly reduce the barrier to entry
to using the visitation infrastructure.
