The global module index is a "global" index for all of the module
files within a particular subdirectory in the module cache, which
keeps track of all of the "interesting" identifiers and selectors
known in each of the module files. One can perform a fast lookup in
the index to determine which module files will have more information
about entities with a particular name/selector. This information can
help eliminate redundant lookups into module files (a serious
performance problem) and help with creating auto-import/auto-include
Fix-Its.
The global module index is created or updated at the end of a
translation unit that has triggered a (re)build of a module by
scraping all of the .pcm files out of the module cache subdirectory,
so it catches everything. As with module rebuilds, we use the file
system's atomicity to synchronize.
