[libclang] Add API to query more information about base classes. (#120300)
The first API is clang_visitCXXBaseClasses: this allows visiting the
base classes without going through the generic child visitor (which is
awkward, and doesn't work for template instantiations).

The second API is clang_getOffsetOfBase; this allows computing the
offset of a base in the class layout, the same way
clang_Cursor_getOffsetOfField computes the offset of a field.

Also, add a Python binding for the existing function
clang_isVirtualBase.

C language Family Front-end

Welcome to Clang.

This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages (C, C++ and Objective-C) which is built as part of the LLVM compiler infrastructure project.

Unlike many other compiler frontends, Clang is useful for a number of things beyond just compiling code: we intend for Clang to be host to a number of different source-level tools. One example of this is the Clang Static Analyzer.

If you're interested in more (including how to build Clang) it is best to read the relevant websites. Here are some pointers:
