LOG: [analyzer] StdVariantChecker: fix crashes and incorrect retrieval of template arguments (#167341)

Although very unusual, the SVal of the argument is not checked for
UnknownVal, so we may get a null pointer dereference.

In addition, the template arguments of the variant are retrieved
incorrectly when type aliases are involved, causing crashes and FPs/FNs.

Added: 
    

Modified: 
    clang/lib/StaticAnalyzer/Checkers/StdVariantChecker.cpp
    clang/test/Analysis/std-variant-checker.cpp

Removed:
