Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Sema: filter out invalid base-specifiers before attaching
ActOnBaseSpecifiers now skips nullptr entries returned for invalid bases,
avoiding ICE on invalid inheritance. Added regression test in
SemaCXX/invalid-inheritance.cpp.
Fixes #147186

Subject: [PATCH 2/3] ParseDeclCXX: reject unusable base classes via
isUsableType
In Parser::ParseBaseSpecifier, replace the previous `isInvalid` check
with `!BaseTy->isUsableType()` so that we early-reject any non-instantiable
class/struct/union as a base. Add a one-line entry to
clang/docs/ReleaseNotes.rst. Fixes #147213.
