testcase-c++-const-decltype.cpp

The attached testcase adds 'const' and the reference symbol & to
decltype(Cls::field) to construct the return type of a function.

Compilation fails:
<span class="quote">> testcase-c++-const-decltype.cpp:10:2: warning: 'const' qualifier on reference type 'decltype(X::u[0][0][0])' (aka 'unsigned int &') has no effect [-Wignored-qualifiers]
>         const decltype(X::u[0][0][0])& getXu(unsigned i1, unsigned i2, unsigned i3) const {
>         ^~~~~~
> testcase-c++-const-decltype.cpp:11:10: error: binding reference of type 'unsigned int' to value of type 'const unsigned int' drops 'const' qualifier
>                 return x.u[i1][i2][i3];
>                        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</span >

Replacing decltype(X::u[0][0][0]) with "unsigned" helps, but
decltype(X::u[0][0][0]) resolves to the same "unsigned" which should make
"const decltype(X::u[0][0][0])&" equivalent to "const unsigned&".

The testcase fails with clang-10, clang-11, clang-11, clang-12.</pre>
