On x86_64-windows-msvc after 8ecec455183f, clang applies the MSVC size-based 
global-alignment scheme (Microsoft64BitMinGlobalAlign) and does not apply the 
Sys V "large array" alignment increase. Users may want to preserve the earlier 
ABI for compatibility with objects produced by older clang releases.

Gate this behavior on the Clang ABI compatibility level. When 
`-fclang-abi-compat=22` (or lower) is in effect, MicrosoftX86_64TargetInfo 
restores LargeArrayMinWidth/LargeArrayAlign to 128 and getMinGlobalAlign skips 
the Microsoft64BitMinGlobalAlign step, matching the older alignment choices.

Assisted by Claude (Anthropic).

Subject: [PATCH] [Clang][X86] Introduce Clang ABI Gate for MSVC alignment

On x86_64-windows-msvc, clang applies the MSVC size-based
global-alignment scheme (Microsoft64BitMinGlobalAlign) and does not
apply the Sys V "large array" alignment increase. Users may want to
preserve the earlier ABI for compatibility with objects produced by
older clang releases.

Gate this behavior on the Clang ABI compatibility level. When
-fclang-abi-compat=22 (or lower) is in effect, MicrosoftX86_64TargetInfo
restores LargeArrayMinWidth/LargeArrayAlign to 128 and getMinGlobalAlign
skips the Microsoft64BitMinGlobalAlign step, matching the older
alignment choices.
