Mital Ashok 9d739e54f4 [Clang] Implement CWG2351 void{} (#78060) ...

Per [CWG2351](https://wg21.link/CWG2351), allow `void{}`, treated the
same as `void()`: a prvalue expression of type `void` that performs no
initialization.

Note that the AST for the expression `T{}` looks like:

```
// using T = int;
CXXFunctionalCastExpr 'T':'int' functional cast to T <NoOp>
`-InitListExpr 'T':'int'
// using T = const int;
CXXFunctionalCastExpr 'int' functional cast to T <NoOp>
`-InitListExpr 'int'
// using T = void;
CXXFunctionalCastExpr 'T':'void' functional cast to T <ToVoid>
`-InitListExpr 'void'
// using T = const void;
CXXFunctionalCastExpr 'void' functional cast to T <ToVoid>
`-InitListExpr 'void'
```

As for `void()`/`T() [T = const void]`, that looked like
`CXXScalarValueInitExpr 'void'` and is unchanged after this.

For reference, C++98 [5.2.3p2] says:

> The expression `T()`, where `T` is a simple-type-specifier (7.1.5.2)
for a non-array complete object type or the (possibly cv-qualified) void
type, creates an rvalue of the specified type, whose value is determined
by default-initialization (8.5; no initialization is done for the
`void()` case). [*Note:* if `T` is a non-class type that is
*cv-qualified*, the `cv-qualifiers` are ignored when determining the
type of the resulting rvalue (3.10). ]

Though it is a bit of a misnomer that, for `T = void`,
`CXXScalarValueInitExpr` does not perform value initialization, it would
be a breaking change to change the AST node for `void()`, so I simply
reworded the doc comment.
