Raphael Isemann b5e49e91cb [lldb] Ignore certain Clang type sugar when creating the type name
Clang has some type sugar that only serves as a way to preserve the way a user
has typed a certain type in the source code. These types are currently not
unwrapped when we query the type name for a Clang type, which means that this
type sugar actually influences what formatters are picked for a certain type.
Currently if a user decides to reference a type by doing `::GlobalDecl Var = 3;`,
the type formatter for `GlobalDecl` will not be used (as the type sugar
around the type gives it the name `::GlobalDecl`. The same goes for other ways
to spell out a type such as `auto` etc.

With this patch most of this type sugar gets stripped when the full type name is
calculated. Typedefs are not getting desugared as that seems counterproductive.
I also don't desugar atomic types as that's technically not type sugar.
