When we parse a tag specifier, keep track of whether that tag

specifier resulted in the creation of a new TagDecl node, which
happens either when the tag specifier was a definition or when the tag
specifier was the first declaration of that tag type. This information
has several uses, the first of which is implemented in this commit:

  1) In C++, one is not allowed to define tag types within a type
  specifier (e.g., static_cast<struct S { int x; } *>(0) is
  ill-formed) or within the result or parameter types of a
  function. We now diagnose this.

  2) We can extend DeclGroups to contain information about any tags
  that are declared/defined within the declaration specifiers of a
  variable, e.g.,

    struct Point { int x, y, z; } p;

  This will help improve AST printing and template instantiation,
  among other things.

  3) For C99, we can keep track of whether a tag type is defined
  within the type of a parameter, to properly cope with cases like,
  e.g.,

    int bar(struct T2 { int x; } y) {
      struct T2 z;
    }

  We can also do similar things wherever there is a type specifier,
  e.g., to keep track of where the definition of S occurs in this
  legal C99 code:

    (struct S { int x, y; } *)0
