The initializer list has a single element and that element can be implicitly converted to the underlying type (`int` in all of the test cases changed in this patch). And this is a direct initialization case, so I think we should be performing the conversion here rather than skipping to the next bullet.

It looks like it's assuming the implicit conversion is valid and adding an implicit conversion sequence based on that assumption. If the source is an integer, unscoped enum, or floating type, the implicit conversion that is performed later should succeed except when there is narrowing.

It's forming the conversion sequence as-if it must be valid, but that causes us to get the right diagnostics. We do the same for narrowing float conversions: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/clang/lib/Sema/SemaInit.cpp#L4521 and I would expect us to then need changes so we get to here: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/clang/lib/Sema/SemaInit.cpp#L8478
