[Sema] Relax overloading restrictions in C.

This patch allows us to perform incompatible pointer conversions when
resolving overloads in C. So, the following code will no longer fail to
compile (though it will still emit warnings, assuming the user hasn't
opted out of them):

```
void foo(char *) __attribute__((overloadable));
void foo(int) __attribute__((overloadable));

void callFoo() {
  unsigned char bar[128];
  foo(bar); // selects the char* overload.
}
```

These conversions are ranked below all others, so:

  A. Any other viable conversion will win out
  B. If we had another incompatible pointer conversion in the example
     above (e.g. `void foo(int *)`), we would complain about
     an ambiguity.
