This method is intended to eventually replace the individual
Type::getAsXXXType<> methods.
The motivation behind this change is twofold:
1) Reduce redundant implementations of Type::getAsXXXType() methods. Most of
them are basically copy-and-paste.
2) By centralizing the implementation of the getAs<Type> logic we can more
smoothly move over to Doug Gregor's proposed canonical type smart pointer
scheme.
Along with this patch:
a) Removed 'Type::getAsPointerType()'; now clients use getAs<PointerType>.
b) Removed 'Type::getAsBlockPointerTypE()'; now clients use getAs<BlockPointerType>.

Remove ASTContext parameter from DeclContext's methods. This change cascaded down to other Decl's methods and changes to call sites started "escalating".
Timings using pre-tokenized "cocoa.h" showed only a ~1% increase in time run between and after this commit.

Make StmtPrinter use DeclPrinter to print all declarations. Merge
declarations in the limited case of an unnamed TagDecl followed by one
or more declarations using that TagDecl directly. Change
SuppressTypeSpecifiers to the more general SuppressSpecifiers, and
use it to suppress stuff like "typedef" and "extern". Replace
OwnedTag with SuppressTag, since it's more convenient to print
declarations from DeclPrinter at the moment.
improvements to declaration printing. Fix pretty-printing for K&R
function definitions and __builtin_va_arg.
We're now to the point where the pretty-printing output for non-trivial
programs can actually be piped back into clang.

walks through DeclContexts properly, and prints more of the
information available in the AST. The functionality is still available
via -ast-print, -ast-dump, etc., and also via the new member functions
Decl::dump() and Decl::print().
