[PATCH] D42796: [clangd] Skip inline namespace when collecting scopes for index symbols.

I was misreading: we set isIgnored if we're trying to generate a USR for a
linkagespecdecl itself (not a symbol in it).
For other e.g. a var, we check if the DC is a NamedDecl and if so, visit it
before visiting the var.
Linkagespec isn't a nameddecl, so this is a no-op. Result: things
(directly) under extern {} blocks don't get any outer scope info in their
USR. But not sure if this is intended (it's certainly not what *we* want!)
