[Index] Compute correct symbol kind for variable templates

[ilya-biryukov]

Summary

The index library itself seems to never pass variable templates as
input, however clangd does.

what about function and class templates? Are they handled in somewhere else?

Yeah, they're handled in ifs and a large switch below. I tried unifying those cases (matching a TemplateDecl here instead of VarTemplateDecl), but they start producing different results for template classes and this function is mostly not called for templates from withing the index library (only for the underlying declarations) and it's only clangd that cares about the returned value in that case.

So I decided to make a minimal change that fixes clangd, but does not change behavior of the index library to avoid potential fallout of a more general fix.

LGTM

ok then it makes sense, could you also add a test case for one of the fall-through cases(static member/parameter(?) etc.)?

• Add a test for static variable template member

Done. (Only static member, though, since we can't have templated parameters or non-static fields)
