[Clang] fix confusing diagnostics for lambdas with init-captures inside braced initializers (#166180)

Fixes #163498

---

This PR addresses the issue of confusing diagnostics for lambdas with
init-captures appearing inside braced initializers.

Cases such as:

```cpp
S s{[a(42), &] {}};
```

were misparsed as C99 array designators, producing unrelated
diagnostics, such as `use of undeclared identifier 'a'`, and `expected
']'`

The tentative parser now returns `Incomplete` for partially valid lambda
introducers, preserving the `lambda` interpretation and allowing the
proper diagnostic to be issued later.

---

Clang now correctly recognizes such constructs as malformed lambda
introducers and emits the expected diagnostic — for example,
“capture-default must be first” — consistent with direct initialization
cases such as:

```cpp
S s([a(42), &] {});
```

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM

Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
