[clang] Implement provisional wording for CWG2398 regarding packs (#90820)

This solves some ambuguity introduced in P0522 regarding how
template template parameters are partially ordered, and should reduce
the negative impact of enabling `-frelaxed-template-template-args`
by default.

When performing template argument deduction, a template template
parameter
containing no packs should be more specialized than one that does.

Given the following example:
```C++
template<class T2> struct A;
template<template<class ...T3s> class TT1, class T4> struct A<TT1<T4>>; // #1
template<template<class    T5 > class TT2, class T6> struct A<TT2<T6>>; // #2

template<class T1> struct B;
template struct A<B<char>>;
```

Prior to P0522, candidate `#2` would be more specialized.
After P0522, neither is more specialized, so this becomes ambiguous.
With this change, `#2` becomes more specialized again,
maintaining compatibility with pre-P0522 implementations.

The problem is that in P0522, candidates are at least as specialized
when matching packs to fixed-size lists both ways, whereas before,
a fixed-size list is more specialized.

This patch keeps the original behavior when checking template arguments
outside deduction, but restores this aspect of pre-P0522 matching
during deduction.

Since this changes provisional implementation of CWG2398 which has
not been released yet, and already contains a changelog entry,
we don't provide a changelog entry here.

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.
