Subject: [PATCH] [clang] Warn [[clang::lifetimebound]] misusages on types

Emit the "cannot be applied to types" warning instead of silently
ignoring the attribute when it's attempted to be used on a type (instead
of a function argument or the function definition).

Before this commit, the warning has been printed when the attribute was
(mis)used on a decl-specifier, but not in other places in a declarator.

Examples where the warning starts being emitted with this commit:

  int * [[clang::lifetimebound]] x;

  void f(int * [[clang::lifetimebound]] x);

  void g(int * [[clang::lifetimebound]]);

Note that the last example is the case of an unnamed function parameter.
While in theory Clang could've supported the [[clang::lifetimebound]],
it doesn't currently, so the commit at least makes the situation better
by highlighting this as a warning instead of a silent ignore.
