Subject: [PATCH 2/2] [Clang][Diagnostics] Suggest 'import std' in typeid
diagnostic for C++20+
In C++20 and later, when typeid is used without including <typeinfo>,
the diagnostic now suggests either including <typeinfo> or importing std,
since modules are available in C++20.
For C++17 and earlier versions, the diagnostic continues to only suggest
including <typeinfo>, as modules are not available in those standards.
Close #172966
