Subject: [PATCH 1/2] poor diagnostic due to overloading in extern "C" block
 #80235

Fixes #80235

When trying to overload a function within `extern "C"`, the diagnostic
`functions that differ only in their return type cannot be overloaded`
is given. This diagnostic is inappropriate because overloading is
basically not allowed in the C language. However, if the redeclared
function has the `((overloadable))` attribute, it should be diagnosed as
`functions that differ only in their return type cannot be overloaded`.

This patch uses `isExternC()` to provide an appropriate diagnostic
during the diagnostic process. `isExternC()` updates the linkage
information cache internally, so calling it before merging functions
can cause clang to crash. An example is declaring `static void foo()`
and `void foo()` within an `extern "C"` block. Therefore, I decided to
call `isExternC()` after the compilation error is confirmed and select
the diagnostic message.  The diagnostic message is
`conflicting types for 'func'` similar to the diagnostic in C, and
`functions that differ only in their return type cannot be overloaded`
if the `((overloadable))` attribute is given.

Regression tests verify that the expected diagnostics are given when
trying to overload functions within `extern "C"` and when the
`((overloadable))` attribute is present.
