Fix Issue 19134
And revert to D vptr semantics in constructors of extern(C++) classes,
i.e., call the most derived override in base constructors. 2.081
introduced a breaking change here, using the most derived override
before the super() call and the current class' afterwards.
The proper mid-term solution is probably to emit fully C++-compatible
constructors for extern(C++) classes, calling the super ctor right at
the start and then blitting vptr and class-specific fields from the
init symbol. extern(C++) classes (and structs) should get an implicit
default ctor (only if there's no other ctor in the class case).
extern(C++) classes could then be allocated and properly constructed via
C++ `new`; struct declarations in C++ headers for extern(C++) structs
wouldn't need to duplicate the field initializers and could simply
declare the default ctor (emitted by the D compiler and blitting the
init symbol).
