Reapplication of 7339c0f782d5c70e0928f8991b0c05338a90c84c with a fix
for a crash involving arrays without a size expression.
Clang supports VLAs in C++ as an extension, but we currently only warn
on their use when you pass -Wvla, -Wvla-extension, or -pedantic.
However, VLAs as they're expressed in C have been considered by WG21
and rejected, are easy to use accidentally to the surprise of users
(e.g., https://ddanilov.me/default-non-standard-features/), and they
have potential security implications beyond constant-size arrays
(https://wiki.sei.cmu.edu/confluence/display/c/ARR32-C.+Ensure+size+arguments+for+variable+length+arrays+are+in+a+valid+range).
C++ users should strongly consider using other functionality such as
std::vector instead.
This seems like sufficiently compelling evidence to warn users about
VLA use by default in C++ modes. This patch enables the -Wvla-extension
diagnostic group in C++ language modes by default, and adds the warning
group to -Wall in GNU++ language modes. The warning is still opt-in in
C language modes, where support for VLAs is somewhat less surprising to
users.

internal linkage entities.
Such constructs are ill-formed by [temp.explicit]p13. We make a special
exception to permit an invalid construct used by libc++ in some build
modes: its <valarray> header declares some functions with the
internal_linkage attribute and then (meaninglessly) provides explicit
instantiation declarations for them. Luckily, Clang happens to
effectively ignore the explicit instantiation declaration when
generating code in this case, and this change codifies that behavior.
This reinstates part of r359048, reverted in r359076. (The libc++ issue
triggering the rollback has been addressed.)

The change breaks libc++ with the follwing error:
In file included from valarray:4:
.../include/c++/v1/valarray:1062:60: error: explicit instantiation declaration of 'valarray<_Tp>' with internal linkage
_LIBCPP_EXTERN_TEMPLATE(_LIBCPP_FUNC_VIS valarray<size_t>::valarray(size_t))

dependent context and can't be used in a constant expression.
Per C++ [temp.inst]p2, "the instantiation of a static data member does not
occur unless the static data member is used in a way that requires the
definition to exist".
This doesn't /quite/ match that, as we still instantiate static data members
that are usable in constant expressions even if the use doesn't require a
definition. A followup patch will fix that for both variables and functions.

With this patch compiler emits warning if it tries to make implicit instantiation
of a template but cannot find the template definition. The warning can be suppressed
by explicit instantiation declaration or by command line options
-Wundefined-var-template and -Wundefined-func-template. The implementation follows
the discussion of http://reviews.llvm.org/D12326.

Split out a new ExpressionEvaluationContext flag for this case, and don't treat
it as unevaluated in C++11. This fixes some crash-on-invalids where we would
allow references to class members in potentially-evaluated constant expressions
in static member functions, and also fixes half of PR10177.
The fix to PR10177 exposed a case where template instantiation failed to provide
a source location for a diagnostic, so TreeTransform has been tweaked to supply
source locations when transforming a type. The source location is still not very
good, but MarkDeclarationsReferencedInType would need to operate on a TypeLoc to
improve it further.
Also fix MarkDeclarationReferenced in C++98 mode to trigger instantiation for
static data members of class templates which are used in constant expressions.
This fixes a link-time problem, but we still incorrectly treat the member as
non-constant. The rest of the fix for that issue is blocked on PCH support for
early-instantiated static data members, which will be added in a subsequent
patch.
