Instead of manually adding a note pointing to the relevant template
parameter to every relevant error, which is very easy to miss, this
patch adds a new instantiation context note, so that this can work using
RAII magic.
This fixes a bunch of places where these notes were missing, and is more
future-proof.
Some diagnostics are reworked to make better use of this note:
- Errors about missing template arguments now refer to the parameter
which is missing an argument.
- Template Template parameter mismatches now refer to template
parameters as parameters instead of arguments.
It's likely this will add the note to some diagnostics where the
parameter is not super relevant, but this can be reworked with time and
the decrease in maintenance burden makes up for it.
This bypasses the templight dumper for the new context entry, as the
tests are very hard to update.
This depends on #125453, which is needed to avoid losing the context
note for errors occuring during template argument deduction.
Given the following invalid code,
```cpp
template <class T>
struct S {
T *a;
};
S s = {1};
```
we produce such diagnostics currently:
```
<source>:2:8: note: candidate template ignored: could not match 'S<T>' against 'int'
2 | struct S {
| ^
<source>:2:8: note: candidate template ignored: could not match 'T *' against 'int'
```
Which I think is confusing because there's no `S<T>` nor `T *` at the
location it points to. This is because we're deducing the initializer
against implicitly generated deduction guides, and their source
locations just point to the corresponding `RecordDecl`. Hence the
misleading notes.
This patch alleviates the issue by adding extra notes demonstrating
which implicit deduction guide we're deducing against. In other words,
in addition to the note of `could not match 'T *' against 'int'`, we
would also say the implicit deduction guide we're trying to use:
`template <class T> S(T *) -> S<T>`, which looks clearer IMO.

Instead of bailing out of parsing when we encounter an invalid
template-name or template arguments in a template-id, produce an
annotation token describing the invalid construct.
This avoids duplicate errors and generally allows us to recover better.
In principle we should be able to extend this to store some kinds of
invalid template-id in the AST for tooling use, but that isn't handled
as part of this change.
This change adds a new type node, DeducedTemplateSpecializationType, to
represent a type template name that has been used as a type. This is modeled
around AutoType, and shares a common base class for representing a deduced
placeholder type.
We allow deduced class template types in a few more places than the standard
does: in conditions and for-range-declarators, and in new-type-ids. This is
consistent with GCC and with discussion on the core reflector. This patch
does not yet support deduced class template types being named in typename
specifiers.

propagating error conditions out of the various annotate-me-a-snowflake
routines. Generally (but not universally) removes redundant diagnostics
as well as, you know, not crashing on bad code. On the other hand,
I have just signed myself up to fix fiddly parser errors for the next
week. Again.

- This is designed to make it obvious that %clang_cc1 is a "test variable"
which is substituted. It is '%clang_cc1' instead of '%clang -cc1' because it
can be useful to redefine what gets run as 'clang -cc1' (for example, to set
a default target).

std::vector<int>::allocator_type
When we parse a template-id that names a type, it will become either a
template-id annotation (which is a parsed representation of a
template-id that has not yet been through semantic analysis) or a
typename annotation (where semantic analysis has resolved the
template-id to an actual type), depending on the context. We only
produce a type in contexts where we know that we only need type
information, e.g., in a type specifier. Otherwise, we create a
template-id annotation that can later be "upgraded" by transforming it
into a typename annotation when the parser needs a type. This occurs,
for example, when we've parsed "std::vector<int>" above and then see
the '::' after it. However, it means that when writing something like
this:
template<> class Outer::Inner<int> { ... };
We have two tokens to represent Outer::Inner<int>: one token for the
nested name specifier Outer::, and one template-id annotation token
for Inner<int>, which will be passed to semantic analysis to define
the class template specialization.
Most of the churn in the template tests in this patch come from an
improvement in our error recovery from ill-formed template-ids.

template specialization (e.g., std::vector<int> would now be
well-formed, since it relies on a default argument for the Allocator
template parameter).
This is much less interesting than one might expect, since (1) we're
not actually using the default arguments for anything important, such
as naming an actual Decl, and (2) we'll often need to instantiate the
default arguments to check their well-formedness. The real fun will
come later.
