Description
Currently the changes made by --features=swift.vfsoverlay are essentially ignored. This means that in BwX mode the build can be a lot slower, and in both modes Indexing can be slower. Also, some things work differently depending on if a VFS overlay is used or not, so using it in the generated project should result in increased consistency.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing how --features=swift.vfsoverlay is handled during generated project creation, then determine how the VFS overlay should affect BwX builds and indexing. Done means the generated project consistently uses the overlay in both modes and the resulting build and indexing behavior reflects it.
