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.
This patch handles default integral non-type template parameters.
After this patch the clang TypePrinter will omit default integral
template arguments when the `PrintingPolicy::SuppressDefaultTemplateArgs`
option is specified and sets us up to be able to re-use
`clang::isSubstitutedDefaultArgument` from the DWARF CodeGen
component.

This is a change to how we represent type subsitution in the AST.
Instead of only storing the replaced type, we track the templated
entity we are substituting, plus an index.
We modify MLTAL to track the templated entity at each level.
Otherwise, it's much more expensive to go from the template parameter back
to the templated entity, and not possible to do in some cases, as when
we instantiate outer templates, parameters might still reference the
original entity.
This also allows us to very cheaply lookup the templated entity we saw in
the naming context and find the corresponding argument it was replaced
from, such as for implementing template specialization resugaring.

Without this patch, clang will not wrap in an ElaboratedType node types written
without a keyword and nested name qualifier, which goes against the intent that
we should produce an AST which retains enough details to recover how things are
written.
The lack of this sugar is incompatible with the intent of the type printer
default policy, which is to print types as written, but to fall back and print
them fully qualified when they are desugared.
An ElaboratedTypeLoc without keyword / NNS uses no storage by itself, but still
requires pointer alignment due to pre-existing bug in the TypeLoc buffer
handling.
---
Troubleshooting list to deal with any breakage seen with this patch:
1) The most likely effect one would see by this patch is a change in how
a type is printed. The type printer will, by design and default,
print types as written. There are customization options there, but
not that many, and they mainly apply to how to print a type that we
somehow failed to track how it was written. This patch fixes a
problem where we failed to distinguish between a type
that was written without any elaborated-type qualifiers,
such as a 'struct'/'class' tags and name spacifiers such as 'std::',
and one that has been stripped of any 'metadata' that identifies such,
the so called canonical types.
Example:
```
namespace foo {
struct A {};
A a;
};
```
If one were to print the type of `foo::a`, prior to this patch, this
would result in `foo::A`. This is how the type printer would have,
by default, printed the canonical type of A as well.
As soon as you add any name qualifiers to A, the type printer would
suddenly start accurately printing the type as written. This patch
will make it print it accurately even when written without
qualifiers, so we will just print `A` for the initial example, as
the user did not really write that `foo::` namespace qualifier.
2) This patch could expose a bug in some AST matcher. Matching types
is harder to get right when there is sugar involved. For example,
if you want to match a type against being a pointer to some type A,
then you have to account for getting a type that is sugar for a
pointer to A, or being a pointer to sugar to A, or both! Usually
you would get the second part wrong, and this would work for a
very simple test where you don't use any name qualifiers, but
you would discover is broken when you do. The usual fix is to
either use the matcher which strips sugar, which is annoying
to use as for example if you match an N level pointer, you have
to put N+1 such matchers in there, beginning to end and between
all those levels. But in a lot of cases, if the property you want
to match is present in the canonical type, it's easier and faster
to just match on that... This goes with what is said in 1), if
you want to match against the name of a type, and you want
the name string to be something stable, perhaps matching on
the name of the canonical type is the better choice.
3) This patch could expose a bug in how you get the source range of some
TypeLoc. For some reason, a lot of code is using getLocalSourceRange(),
which only looks at the given TypeLoc node. This patch introduces a new,
and more common TypeLoc node which contains no source locations on itself.
This is not an inovation here, and some other, more rare TypeLoc nodes could
also have this property, but if you use getLocalSourceRange on them, it's not
going to return any valid locations, because it doesn't have any. The right fix
here is to always use getSourceRange() or getBeginLoc/getEndLoc which will dive
into the inner TypeLoc to get the source range if it doesn't find it on the
top level one. You can use getLocalSourceRange if you are really into
micro-optimizations and you have some outside knowledge that the TypeLocs you are
dealing with will always include some source location.
4) Exposed a bug somewhere in the use of the normal clang type class API, where you
have some type, you want to see if that type is some particular kind, you try a
`dyn_cast` such as `dyn_cast<TypedefType>` and that fails because now you have an
ElaboratedType which has a TypeDefType inside of it, which is what you wanted to match.
Again, like 2), this would usually have been tested poorly with some simple tests with
no qualifications, and would have been broken had there been any other kind of type sugar,
be it an ElaboratedType or a TemplateSpecializationType or a SubstTemplateParmType.
The usual fix here is to use `getAs` instead of `dyn_cast`, which will look deeper
into the type. Or use `getAsAdjusted` when dealing with TypeLocs.
For some reason the API is inconsistent there and on TypeLocs getAs behaves like a dyn_cast.
5) It could be a bug in this patch perhaps.
Let me know if you need any help!

Based on post-commit review discussion on
2bd84938470bf2e337801faafb8a67710f46429d with Richard Smith.
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.

This improves diagnostic (& important to me, DWARF) accuracy - otherwise
there could be ambiguities between "std::nullptr_t" and some user-defined

outer levels as retained rather than omitting their arguments.
This better reflects what's going on (we're performing a substitution
while still inside a template), and in theory is more correct, but I've
not found a testcase where it matters in practice (largely because we
don't allow alias templates to be declared inside a function).
Fixed AST dumping of SubstNonTypeTemplateParm[Pack]Expr to demonstrate
that we're properly substituting through dependent alias templates. (We
can't deduce properly through these yet, but we can at least produce the
right input to template argument deduction.)
No functionality change intended.

Do not create Subst* nodes in the latter. We previously had a hybrid of
these two behaviors where we would only create some Subst* nodes but not
others during deduction guide rewrites.
No functional change intended, but the resulting ASTs are more
principled.
inner non-type pack at a different index.
We previously considered the index of the outer pack (which would refer
to an unrelated template parameter) to be deduced by deducing the inner
pack, because we inspected the (largely meaningless) type of an expanded
non-type template parameter pack.
