[clangd] Errors in TestTU cause test failures unless suppressed with error-ok.

Summary

The historic behavior of TestTU is to gather diagnostics and otherwise ignore
them. So if a test has a syntax error, and doesn't assert diagnostics, it
silently misbehaves.
This can be annoying when developing tests, as evidenced by various tests
gaining "assert no diagnostics" where that's not really the point of the test.

This patch aims to make that default behavior. For the first error
(not warning), TestTU will call ADD_FAILURE().

This can be suppressed with a comment containing "error-ok". For now that will
suppress any errors in the TU. We can make this stricter later -verify style.
(-verify itself is hard to reuse because of DiagnosticConsumer interfaces...)
A magic-comment was chosen over a TestTU option because of table-driven tests.

In addition to the behavior change, this patch:

  • adds //error-ok where we're knowingly testing invalid code (e.g. for diagnostics, crash-resilience, or token-level tests)
  • fixes a bunch of errors in the checked-in tests, mostly trivial (missing ;)
  • removes a bunch of now-redundant instances of "assert no diagnostics"

should we make this more obscure, something like // TESTTU: error-ok ?

Even though it sounds implausible, just in case someone spells error-ok as part of the test, and silently drops the error :D

I don't think this is the worst or most-likely failure mode, compared to suppressing too many errors.
The extra-verbosity would make it annoying to put inline.

I'd rather switch to clang -verify or otherwise ensure it only suppresses errors on the same line.
But that adds complexity, and this is a strict improvement on what we have today.
