Overriding a method from a virtual base with a covariant return type
consumes a slot from the vftable in the virtual base. This can make it
impossible to implement certain diamond inheritance hierarchies, but we
have to follow along for compatibility in the simple cases.

This patch only affects our vtable dumper and member pointer function
mangling, since all other callers of getMethodVFTableLocation seem to
recompute VBTableIndex instead of using the one in the method location.

Welcome to Clang.  This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages
(C, C++, Objective-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 web sites.  Here are some pointers:
