[AST] Fix loss of enum forward decl from decl context
ClosedPublic

Summary

For example, given:

enum __attribute__((deprecated)) T *p;

-ast-print produced:

enum T *p;

The attribute was lost because the enum forward decl was lost.

Another example is the loss of enum forward decls from C++ namespaces
(in MS compatibility mode).

The trouble was that the EnumDecl node was suppressed, as revealed by
-ast-dump. The suppression of the EnumDecl was intentional in
r116122, but I don't understand why. The suppression isn't needed for
the test suite to behave.

Clang's current behavior is observably wrong in MS compatibility mode. For example:

namespace N {
  enum E *p;
  exterm E e; // ok, finds E injected into scope by previous declaration
}
N::E e; // error, no E in N!
namespace N {
  extern E e; // error, no E in N!
}

Please add something like the above to the test suite, to make sure we don't regress this (in some existing -fms-compatibility test for enum forward declarations).
