[clang] [clang][Sema] Improve error recovery for id-expressions referencing invalid decls (PR #81662)

[Nathan Ridge via cfe-commits]

https://github.com/HighCommander4 created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/81662

Passing AcceptInvalidDecl=true to BuildDeclarationNameExpr() allows the RecoveryExpr that's constructed to retain a DeclRefExpr pointing to the invalid decl as a child, preserving information about the reference for use by tools such as clangd.

Fixes https://github.com/clangd/clangd/issues/1820
