DebugInfo: Remove auto return type representation support

Summary

Seems this complicated lldb sufficiently for some cases that it hasn't
been worth supporting/fixing there - and it so far hasn't provided any
new use cases/value for debug info consumers, so let's remove it until
someone has a use case for it.

(side note: the original implementation of this still had a bug (I
should've caught it in review) that we still didn't produce
auto-returning function declarations in types where the function wasn't
instantiatied (that requires a fix to remove the `if
getContainedAutoType` condition in
CGDebugInfo::CollectCXXMemberFunctions - without that, auto returning
functions were still being handled the same as member function templates
and special member functions - never added to the member list, only
attached to the type via the declaration chain from the definition)

If we are not deriving any useful functionality from supporting this in debug-info then this makes sense to me but I will let someone still directly involved to approve it.
