(cherry picked from commit 5931c1e)
Description: Currently, whenever we're asked to retrieve a particular FieldDescriptor for a TypeRef, we naively parse all the ReflectionInfos in the order they were registered (caching everything) until we find the one we're looking for. This can be very costly for the debugger, as we may be reading memory from a remote target. This patch introduces a heuristic to prioritize this search by processing first ReflectionInfos where the FieldDescriptor we're looking for is likely to be. If the heuristic fails, we fallback to the old behavior. In profiling debugging large apps, this has significant impact on the time to stop on the first breakpoint.
Risk: Low. If the heuristic fails we fall back to the old behavior.
Testing: swift lldb tests that use frame variable.
