c++: Improve diagnostic for class tmpl/class redecl [PR103749]

For code like

  template<typename>
  struct bar;

  struct bar {
    int baz;
  };

  bar var;

we emit a fairly misleading and unwieldy diagnostic:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
$ g++ -c u.cc
u.cc:6:8: error: template argument required for 'struct bar'
    6 | struct bar {
      |        ^~~
u.cc:10:5: error: class template argument deduction failed:
   10 | bar var;
      |     ^~~
u.cc:10:5: error: no matching function for call to 'bar()'
u.cc:3:17: note: candidate: 'template<class> bar()-> bar< <template-parameter-1-1> >'
    3 |   friend struct bar;
      |                 ^~~
u.cc:3:17: note:   template argument deduction/substitution failed:
u.cc:10:5: note:   couldn't deduce template parameter '<template-parameter-1-1>'
   10 | bar var;
      |     ^~~
u.cc:3:17: note: candidate: 'template<class> bar(bar< <template-parameter-1-1> >)-> bar< <template-parameter-1-1> >'
    3 |   friend struct bar;
      |                 ^~~
u.cc:3:17: note:   template argument deduction/substitution failed:
u.cc:10:5: note:   candidate expects 1 argument, 0 provided
   10 | bar var;
      |     ^~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

but with this patch we get:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
z.C:4:10: error: class template 'bar' redeclared as non-template
    4 |   struct bar {
      |          ^~~
z.C:2:10: note: previous declaration here
    2 |   struct bar;
      |          ^~~
z.C:8:7: error: 'bar<...auto...> var' has incomplete type
    8 |   bar var;
      |       ^~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

which is clearer about what the problem is.

I thought it'd be nice to avoid printing the messages about failed CTAD,
too.  To that end, I'm using CLASSTYPE_ERRONEOUS to suppress CTAD.  Not
sure if that's entirely kosher.

The other direction (first a non-template class declaration followed by
a class template definition) we handle quite well:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
z.C:11:8: error: 'bar' is not a template
   11 | struct bar {};
      |        ^~~
z.C:8:8: note: previous declaration here
    8 | struct bar;
      |        ^~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
