Add a simulate_record_decl lang hook

This patch adds a lang hook for defining a struct/RECORD_TYPE
“as if” it had appeared directly in the source code.  It follows
the similar existing hook for enums.

It's the caller's responsibility to create the fields
(as FIELD_DECLs) but the hook's responsibility to create
and declare the associated RECORD_TYPE.

For now the hook is hard-coded to do the equivalent of:

  typedef struct NAME { FIELDS } NAME;

but this could be controlled by an extra parameter if some callers
want a different behaviour in future.

The motivating use case is to allow the long list of struct
definitions in arm_neon.h to be provided by the compiler,
which in turn unblocks various arm_neon.h optimisations.
