When an importable module unit is compiled to an object file,
a corresponding BMI is implicitly generated.

What happens if the source file name does not have an extension? E.g., for
`clang -c -std=c++20 -xc++-module file`?

* (2) Otherwise, the BMI will be written to a file within the module cache with
a name constructed from the source file name with a `.pcm` extension.
For example, if the source file is `M.cppm`, then the BMI will be implicitly
written to a file named `M.pcm` in the module cache.
