<title>[Clang] Fix handling of explicit parameters in `SemaLambda` (#168558)</title>

Previously, the presence of an explicit parameter list was detected by
querying `getNumTypeObjects()` from the `Declarator` block of the lambda
definition. This breaks for lambdas which do not have a parameter list
but _do_ have a trailing return type; that is, both of

```
[]() -&gt; int { return 0; };
[] -&gt; int { return 0; };
```

would return `true` when inspecting
`LambdaExpr::hasExplicitParameters()`.

Fix this by instead querying the `LParenLoc()` from the `Declarator`'s
`FunctionTypeInfo`. If `isValid() == true`, then an explicit parameter
list must be present, and if it is `false`, then it is not.

This commit also adds `hasExplicitParameters` as an attribute to a
`LambdaExpr`'s JSON AST dump. A new test (`ast-dump-lambda-json.cpp`) is
also added to validate the fix and presence of the new attribute in the
output. `ast-dump-expr-json.cpp` is also updated to validate the new
attribute.

<title>[Clang] [C2y] Implement N3355 ‘Named Loops’ (#152870)</title>

<content type='text'>
This implements support for [named
loops](https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n3355.htm) for
C2y. 

When parsing a `LabelStmt`, we create the `LabeDecl` early before we parse 
the substatement; this label is then passed down to `ParseWhileStatement()` 
and friends, which then store it in the loop’s (or switch statement’s) `Scope`; 
when we encounter a `break/continue` statement, we perform a lookup for 
the label (and error if it doesn’t exist), and then walk the scope stack and 
check if there is a scope whose preceding label is the target label, which 
identifies the jump target.

The feature is only supported in C2y mode, though a cc1-only option
exists for testing (`-fnamed-loops`), which is mostly intended to try
and make sure that we don’t have to refactor this entire implementation
when/if we start supporting it in C++.

This reintroduces `Type.h`, having earlier been renamed to `TypeBase.h`,
as a redirection to `TypeBase.h`, and redirects most users to include
the former instead.

This is a preparatory patch for being able to provide inline definitions
for `Type` methods which would otherwise cause a circular dependency
with `Decl{,CXX}.h`.

Doing these operations into their own NFC patch helps the git rename
detection logic work, preserving the history.

This patch makes clang just a little slower to build (~0.17%), just
because it makes more code indirectly include `DeclCXX.h`.</content>

This is a preparatory patch, to be able to provide inline definitions
for `Type` functions which depend on `Decl{,CXX}.h`. As the latter also
depends on `Type.h`, this would not be possible without some
reorganizing.

Splitting this rename into its own patch allows git to track this as a
rename, and preserve all git history, and not force any code
reformatting.

A later NFC patch will reintroduce `Type.h` as redirection to
`TypeBase.h`, rewriting most places back to directly including `Type.h`
instead of `TypeBase.h`, leaving only a handful of places where this is
necessary.

Then yet a later patch will exploit this by making more stuff inline.</content>

<title>[clang] Improve nested name specifier AST representation (#147835)</title>

<id>91cdd35008e9ab32dffb7e401cdd7313b3461892</id>
<content type='text'>
This is a major change on how we represent nested name qualifications in
the AST.

* The nested name specifier itself and how it's stored is changed. The
prefixes for types are handled within the type hierarchy, which makes
canonicalization for them super cheap, no memory allocation required.
Also translating a type into nested name specifier form becomes a no-op.
An identifier is stored as a DependentNameType. The nested name
specifier gains a lightweight handle class, to be used instead of
passing around pointers, which is similar to what is implemented for
TemplateName. There is still one free bit available, and this handle can
be used within a PointerUnion and PointerIntPair, which should keep
bit-packing aficionados happy.
* The ElaboratedType node is removed, all type nodes in which it could
previously apply to can now store the elaborated keyword and name
qualifier, tail allocating when present.
* TagTypes can now point to the exact declaration found when producing
these, as opposed to the previous situation of there only existing one
TagType per entity. This increases the amount of type sugar retained,
and can have several applications, for example in tracking module
ownership, and other tools which care about source file origins, such as
IWYU. These TagTypes are lazily allocated, in order to limit the
increase in AST size.

This patch offers a great performance benefit.

It greatly improves compilation time for
[stdexec](https://github.com/NVIDIA/stdexec). For one datapoint, for
`test_on2.cpp` in that project, which is the slowest compiling test,
this patch improves `-c` compilation time by about 7.2%, with the
`-fsyntax-only` improvement being at ~12%.

This has great results on compile-time-tracker as well:

![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/700dce98-2cab-4aa8-97d1-b038c0bee831)

This patch also further enables other optimziations in the future, and
will reduce the performance impact of template specialization resugaring
when that lands.

It has some other miscelaneous drive-by fixes.

About the review: Yes the patch is huge, sorry about that. Part of the
reason is that I started by the nested name specifier part, before the
ElaboratedType part, but that had a huge performance downside, as
ElaboratedType is a big performance hog. I didn't have the steam to go
back and change the patch after the fact.

There is also a lot of internal API changes, and it made sense to remove
ElaboratedType in one go, versus removing it from one type at a time, as
that would present much more churn to the users. Also, the nested name
specifier having a different API avoids missing changes related to how
prefixes work now, which could make existing code compile but not work.

How to review: The important changes are all in
`clang/include/clang/AST` and `clang/lib/AST`, with also important
changes in `clang/lib/Sema/TreeTransform.h`.

The rest and bulk of the changes are mostly consequences of the changes
in API.

PS: TagType::getDecl is renamed to `getOriginalDecl` in this patch, just
for easier to rebasing. I plan to rename it back after this lands.
