[ms-cxxabi] Add a new calling convention that swaps 'this' and 'sret'

MSVC always places the 'this' parameter for a method first.  The
implicit 'sret' pointer for methods always comes second.  We already
implement this for __thiscall by putting sret parameters on the stack,
but __cdecl methods require putting both parameters on the stack in
opposite order.

Using a special calling convention allows frontends to keep the sret
parameter first, which avoids breaking lots of assumptions in LLVM and
Clang.

Fixes PR15768 with the corresponding change in Clang.
