This was originally added in https://reviews.llvm.org/D142268 have LLDB display variable typenames that benefit from suppressing defaulted template arguments.

We currently represent template aliases as `DW_AT_typedef`s instead of `DW_TAG_template_alias`. This means for types like:
```
template <class _Tp>
using __remove_cv_t = __remove_cv(_Tp);

template <class _Tp>
using remove_cv_t = __remove_cv_t<_Tp>;

template<typename T>
class optional {
  using value_type = T;
  remove_cv_t<value_type> __val_;
}
```
we would generate DWARF like:
```
0x0000274f:       DW_TAG_typedef
                    DW_AT_type  (0x0000000000002758 "__remove_cv_t<value_type>")
                    DW_AT_name  ("remove_cv_t<value_type>")

```

This is an actual libc++ type layout introduced in https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/110355, which uncovered a shortcoming of LLDB's data-formatter infrastructure, which caches formatters on the contents of `DW_AT_name`.

To unblock the libc++ change, I think we can revert this without much fallout.

Then we have two options for follow-up (or do both):
1. reland this but adjust the LLDB formatter cache so it doesn't cache formatters for template specializations
2. implement support for `DW_TAG_template_alias` in LLDB (and make Clang generate them by default).
