[lldb] Ignore certain Clang type sugar when creating the type name
Clang has some type sugar that only serves as a way to preserve the way a user has typed a certain type in the source code. These types are currently not unwrapped when we query the type name for a Clang type, which means that this type sugar actually influences what formatters are picked for a certain type. Currently if a user decides to reference a type by doing `::GlobalDecl Var = 3;`, the type formatter for `GlobalDecl` will not be used (as the type sugar around the type gives it the name `::GlobalDecl`. The same goes for other ways to spell out a type such as `auto` etc. With this patch most of this type sugar gets stripped when the full type name is calculated. Typedefs are not getting desugared as that seems counterproductive. I also don't desugar atomic types as that's technically not type sugar.
