Instead of having everybody just whack state variables (which results in a rats nest of "I don't know what state I'm in any more"), use RAII types to scope the state changes. The changes for `abi_types` exactly match the previous behavior, except that `abi_types` is now `false` during the generation of `write_forward` for forward declarations of types from other namespaces, when it used to be `true`. Fortunately, it doesn't seem to matter, since those forward types don't appear to be affected by the setting of `abi_types`. Cannot use RAII types for the file guards because we generate the bottom half of the header file before the top half. The state of `param_names` in `component_writers.h` is still somewhat unclear, so I left that part alone. Verified that all generated header files (both by `build_projection.h` and `Generated Files\*.h`) are identical both before and after this change, even with a private hacked pair of builds that assumed all types supported FastABI (which lights up new code paths).
