[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.
