[modules] Cache 'acceptable decl' lookups for namespaces. In projects with
thousands of modules, each of which declares the same namespace, linearly
scanning the redecl chain looking for a visible declaration (once for each leaf
module, for each use) performs very poorly. Namespace visibility can only
decrease when we leave a module during a module build step, and we never care
*which* visible declaration of a namespace we find, so we can cache this very
effectively.
This results in a 35x speedup on one of our internal build steps (2m -> 3.5s),
but is hard to unit test because it requires a very large number of modules.
Ideas for a test appreciated! No functionality change intended other than the
speedup.
