[IR] Avoid the need to prefix MS C++ symbols with '\01'

Now the Windows mangling modes ('w' and 'x') do not do any mangling for
symbols starting with '?'. This means that clang can stop adding the
hideous '\01' leading escape. This means LLVM debug logs are less likely
to contain ASCII escape characters and it will be easier to copy and
paste MS symbol names from IR.

Finally.

For non-Windows platforms, names starting with '?' still get IR
mangling, so once clang stops escaping MS C++ names, we will get extra
'_' prefixing on MachO. That's fine, since it is currently impossible to
construct a triple that uses the MS C++ ABI in clang and emits macho
object files.
