Subject: [PATCH] [RecursiveASTVisitor] Skip implicit instantiations.

In DEF_TRAVERSE_TMPL_SPEC_DECL, we attempted to skip implicit
instantiations by detecting that D->getTemplateArgsAsWritten() returns
nullptr, but as this test shows, it is possible for that to return a
non-null pointer even for implicit instantiations. Explicitly check for
this case instead.

Fixes #110502
