[PATCH] Offer typo suggestions for 'using'.

That cleaned things up a bit. Now for the cases where the code used to
remove the using decl it instead suggests a fully-qualified
replacement to preserve syntax correctness while still allowing the
compilation to continue:

namespace using_suggestion_ty_dropped_specifier {
class AAA {}; // expected-note
{{'::using_suggestion_ty_dropped_specifier::AAA' declared here}}
namespace N { }
using N::AAA; // expected-error {{no member named 'AAA' in namespace
'using_suggestion_ty_dropped_specifier::N'; did you mean
'::using_suggestion_ty_dropped_specifier::AAA'?}}
}
