Other uses of forcing HasEmptyPlaceHolder to false seem OK to me -
they're all around pointer/reference types where the pointer/reference
token will appear at the rightmost side of the left side of the type
name, so they make nested types (eg: the "int" in "int *") behave as
though there is a non-empty placeholder (because the "*" is essentially
the placeholder as far as the "int" is concerned).
This was originally committed in 277623f4d5a672d707390e2c3eaf30a9eb4b075c
Reverted in f9ad1d1c775a8e264bebc15d75e0c6e5c20eefc7 due to breakages
outside of clang - lldb seems to have some strange/strong dependence on
"char [N]" versus "char[N]" when printing strings (not due to that name
appearing in DWARF, but probably due to using clang to stringify type
names) that'll need to be addressed, plus a few other odds and ends in
other subprojects (clang-tools-extra, compiler-rt, etc).
Looks like lldb has some issues with this - somehow it causes lldb to
treat a "char[N]" type as an array of chars (prints them out
individually) but a "char [N]" is printed as a string. (even though the
DWARF doesn't have this string in it - it's something to do with the
string lldb generates for itself using clang)
This reverts commit 277623f4d5a672d707390e2c3eaf30a9eb4b075c.

Follow-on from 2bd84938470bf2e337801faafb8a67710f46429d based on
postcommit feedback from Richard Smith.
The VariableArray case I couldn't figure out how to test/provoke - you
can't write/form a variable array in any context other than a local
variable that I know of, and in that case `const int x[n]` is the
normalized form already (array-of-const) and you can't use typedefs
(since you can't typedef int[n] with variable 'n') to force the
const-array AST that would produce the undesirable type printing "int
const [n]".
The outputs between the direct ast-dump test and the ast-dump test after
deserialization should match modulo a few differences.
For hand-written tests, strip the "<undeserialized declarations>"s and
the "imported"s with sed.
For tests generated with "make-ast-dump-check.sh", regenerate the
output.
Part 2/n.
