[PATCH] D18271: Avoid -Wshadow warnings about constructor parameters named after fields

As a data point: I ran -Wshadow on our code base with a similar, but simpler patch (http://reviews.llvm.org/D18395, just disables the warning on ctor parameters named after fields). It removes more than half of the hits (from ~100k initially) and a random sample of ~100 removed removed hits didn't contain any issues that we'd like to still be warning about.

Ultimately, I think, this diagnostic should be made much less noisy to be actually useful. So maybe even starting with a removal of a larger subset of warnings (and then gradually adding back the cases that seem to be important to flag) would be better.
