[Modules] Change private modules rules and warnings
We used to advertise private modules to be declared as submodules (Foo.Private). This has proven to not scale well since private headers might carry several dependencies, introducing unwanted content into the main module and often causing dep cycles. Change the canonical way to name it to Foo_Private, forcing private modules as top level ones, and provide warnings under -Wprivate-module to suggest fixes for other private naming. Update documentation to reflect that. rdar://problem/31173501 git-svn-id: https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/cfe/trunk@321337 91177308-0d34-0410-b5e6-96231b3b80d8

When writing a private module as part of a *framework*, it's recommended that:
-* Headers for this module are present in the ``PrivateHeaders``
- framework subdirectory.
-* The private module is defined as a *submodule* of the public framework (if
- there's one), similar to how ``Foo.Private`` is defined in the example above.
-* The ``explicit`` keyword should be used to guarantee that its content will
- only be available when the submodule itself is explicitly named (through a
- ``@import`` for example).
+* Headers for this module are present in the ``PrivateHeaders`` framework
+ subdirectory.
+* The private module is defined as a *top level module* with the name of the
+ public framework prefixed, like ``Foo_Private`` above. Clang has extra logic
+ to work with this naming, using ``FooPrivate`` or ``Foo.Private`` (submodule)
+ trigger warnings and might not work as expected.
