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.

This improves and unifies our approach to printing all template
arguments.
The same approach to printing types is extended to all
TemplateArguments: A sugared version is printed in quotes, followed by
printing the canonical form, unless they would print the same.
Special improvements are done to add more detail to template template
arguments.
It's planned in a future patch to use this improved TemplateName printer
for other places besides TemplateArguments.
Note: The sugared/desugared printing does not show up for TemplateNames
in tests yet, because we do a poor job of preserving their type sugar.
This will be improved in a future patch.
These are an artifact of how types are structured but serve little
purpose, merely showing that the type is sugared in some way. For
example, ElaboratedType's existence means struct S gets printed as
'struct S':'struct S' in the AST, which is unnecessary visual clutter.
Note that skipping the second print when the types have the same string
matches what we do for diagnostics, where the aka will be skipped.
Missing a `withConst`, so when deducing from a string literal, a `const` is erroneously added to the deduced type.
