Profiling the mcrouter OSS build with ninjatracing + clang's -ftime-trace indicates that a significant amount of time is spent in repeated template instantiations for ProxyConfig and ServiceInfo (see attached speedscope profile).
Add extern template declarations for these classes with their most common parameter (MemcacheRouterInfo) to reduce compile times. On a full build of mcrouter OSS with all tests, this reduces the build time from ~34 minutes to ~29 minutes.
