[clang] Pass the NamedDecl* instead of the DeclarationName into many diagnostics.
Background:
-----------
There are two related argument types which can be sent into a diagnostic to
display the name of an entity: DeclarationName (ak_declarationname) or
NamedDecl* (ak_nameddecl) (there is also ak_identifierinfo for
IdentifierInfo*, but we are not concerned with it here).

A DeclarationName in a diagnostic will just be streamed to the output,
which will directly result in a call to DeclarationName::print.

A NamedDecl* in a diagnostic will also ultimately result in a call to
DeclarationName::print, but with two customisation points along the way:

The first customisation point is NamedDecl::getNameForDiagnostic which is
overloaded by FunctionDecl, ClassTemplateSpecializationDecl and
VarTemplateSpecializationDecl to print the template arguments, if any.

The second customisation point is NamedDecl::printName. By default it just
streams the stored DeclarationName into the output but it can be customised
to provide a user-friendly name for an entity. It is currently overloaded by
DecompositionDecl and MSGuidDecl.

What this patch does:
---------------------
For many diagnostics a DeclarationName is used instead of the NamedDecl*.
This bypasses the two customisation points mentioned above. This patches fix
this for diagnostics in Sema.cpp, SemaCast.cpp, SemaChecking.cpp, SemaDecl.cpp,
SemaDeclAttr.cpp, SemaDecl.cpp, SemaOverload.cpp and SemaStmt.cpp.

I have only modified diagnostics where I could construct a test-case which
demonstrates that the change is appropriate (either with this patch or the next
one).
