fd5277c063 Implement a rudimentary form of generic lambdas.
Specifically, the following features are not included in this commit:
  - any sort of capturing within generic lambdas 
  - nested lambdas
  - conversion operator for captureless lambdas
  - ensuring all visitors are generic lambda aware


As an example of what compiles:

template <class F1, class F2>
struct overload : F1, F2 {
    using F1::operator();
    using F2::operator();
    overload(F1 f1, F2 f2) : F1(f1), F2(f2) { }
  };

  auto Recursive = [](auto Self, auto h, auto ... rest) {
    return 1 + Self(Self, rest...);
  };
  auto Base = [](auto Self, auto h) {
      return 1;
  };
  overload<decltype(Base), decltype(Recursive)> O(Base, Recursive);
  int num_params =  O(O, 5, 3, "abc", 3.14, 'a');

Please see attached tests for more examples.

Some implementation notes:

  - Add a new Declarator context => LambdaExprParameterContext to 
    clang::Declarator to allow the use of 'auto' in declaring generic
    lambda parameters
    
  - Augment AutoType's constructor (similar to how variadic 
    template-type-parameters ala TemplateTypeParmDecl are implemented) to 
    accept an IsParameterPack to encode a generic lambda parameter pack.
  
  - Add various helpers to CXXRecordDecl to facilitate identifying
    and querying a closure class
  
  - LambdaScopeInfo (which maintains the current lambda's Sema state)
    was augmented to house the current depth of the template being
    parsed (id est the Parser calls Sema::RecordParsingTemplateParameterDepth)
    so that Sema::ActOnLambdaAutoParameter may use it to create the 
    appropriate list of corresponding TemplateTypeParmDecl for each
    auto parameter identified within the generic lambda (also stored
    within the current LambdaScopeInfo).  Additionally, 
    a TemplateParameterList data-member was added to hold the invented
    TemplateParameterList AST node which will be much more useful
    once we teach TreeTransform how to transform generic lambdas.
    
  - SemaLambda.h was added to hold some common lambda utility
    functions (this file is likely to grow ...)
    
  - Teach Sema::ActOnStartOfFunctionDef to check whether it
    is being called to instantiate a generic lambda's call
    operator, and if so, push an appropriately prepared
    LambdaScopeInfo object on the stack.
    
  - Teach Sema::ActOnStartOfLambdaDefinition to set the
    return type of a lambda without a trailing return type
    to 'auto' in C++1y mode, and teach the return type
    deduction machinery in SemaStmt.cpp to process either
    C++11 and C++14 lambda's correctly depending on the flag.    

  - various tests were added - but much more will be needed.

A greatful thanks to all reviewers including Eli Friedman,  
James Dennett and the ever illuminating Richard Smith.  And 
yet I am certain that I have allowed unidentified bugs to creep in; 
bugs, that I will do my best to slay, once identified!

Thanks!

1836e60023 Handle a difference in lambda return type deduction between C++11 and C++1y: if
no return type is specified, C++11 will deduce a cv-qualified return type in
some cases, but C++1y never will.

9155be1e54 C++1y: provide full 'auto' return type deduction for lambda expressions. This
completes the implementation of N3638.

b9e38f19f7 Specialize the diagnostic complaining about conflicting types of
return statements within a lambda; this diagnostic previously referred
to blocks.

940a550f0d Don't allow deduction of a lambda result type from an initializer
list; it is not an expression.

7345626a5b Implement return type deduction for lambdas per C++11
[expr.prim.lambda]p4, including the current suggested resolution of
core isue 975, which allows multiple return statements so long as the
types match. ExtWarn when user code is actually making use of this
extension.
