[clang] Allow 'inline' on some declarations in MS compatibility mode (PR #125250)

https://github.com/AaronBallman created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/125250

Microsoft allows the 'inline' specifier on a typedef of a function type
in C modes. This is used by a system header (ufxclient.h), so instead
of giving a hard error, we diagnose with a warning. C++ mode and non-
Microsoft compatibility modes are not impacted.

Fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/124869
