[pseudo] Eliminate the type-name identifier ambiguities in the grammar.

See https://reviews.llvm.org/D130626 for motivation.

Identifier in the grammar has different categories (type-name, template-name,
namespace-name), they requires semantic information to resolve. This patch is
to eliminate the "local" ambiguities in type-name, and namespace-name, which
gives us a performance boost of the parser:

  - eliminate all different type rules (class-name, enum-name, typedef-name), and
    fold them into a unified type-name, this removes the #1 type-name ambiguity, and
    gives us a big performance boost;
  - remove the namespace-alis rules, as they're hard and uninteresting;

Note that we could eliminate more and gain more performance (like fold template-name,
type-name, namespace together), but at current stage, we'd like keep all existing
categories of the identifier (as they might assist in correlated disambiguation &
keep the representation of important concepts uniform).
