Emit a bit more informative error when the `[[clang::lifetimebound]]` attribute is wrongly appearing on a decl-spec:

  "'lifetimebound' attribute only applies to parameters and implicit
object parameters",

instead of:

  "'lifetimebound' attribute cannot be applied to types".

The new error is also consistent with the diagnostic emitted when the attribute is misplaced in other parts of a declarator.
