[clang] Improve diagnostics on implicitly deleted defaulted comparisons

[mizvekov]

Summary

This patch just makes the error message clearer by reinforcing the cause
was a lack of viable three-way comparison function for the
complete object.

I don't think this change is right: for

struct A {
  int &r;
  bool operator==(const A&) const = default;
};

we should warn about the reference member (as we do), but for

struct A {
  int &r;
  bool operator<(const A&) const = default;
};

... we shouldn't recurse to subobjects because they make no difference. The problem in that example is that there's no operator<=> for A; the fact that there's a reference member is irrelevant. I think it would be useful to change the diagnostic from

<stdin>:3:8: warning: explicitly defaulted relational comparison operator is implicitly deleted [-Wdefaulted-function-deleted]
  bool operator<(const A &) const = default;
       ^
<stdin>:3:8: note: defaulted 'operator<' is implicitly deleted because there is no viable comparison function

to something more verbose, such as

<stdin>:3:8: warning: explicitly defaulted relational comparison operator is implicitly deleted [-Wdefaulted-function-deleted]
  bool operator<(const A &) const = default;
       ^
<stdin>:3:8: note: defaulted 'operator<' is implicitly deleted because there is no viable three-way comparison function for 'A'

Now this a patch just about improving the diagnostic as rsmith suggested.

[mizvekov]

You are absolutely right, my bad!!

So we stealth fix this revision to improve the message :D

[mizvekov]

Change to simpler way to do it:
For CompleteObject Kind, just fill in the declaration for the complete object.

Would it be useful to apply the same diagnostic improvement to this diagnostic too? (Genuine question: I *think* we'll attach a note pointing to the deleted function in this case, which would probably make the "for T" part just be noise, but I've not checked.)

Yeah I thought about checking other errors for similar improvements. It's on my list to check that.

For this one in particular, we really do attach another note that makes it obvious, pointing to the explicitly marked deleted function.
note_defaulted_comparison_not_constexpr at first glance looks like might suffer from the same problem, but in this case I don't think the error ever could apply to the complete object.
And then nothing else that I could find.
