LOG: [clang] Implement CWG2413 (implicit `typename` in conversion operators) (#195207)

Link: [CWG2413](https://wg21.link/cwg2413). This DR was resolved by
[P1787R6](https://wg21.link/P1787R6) by adding the following wording to
[[temp.res.general]/4](https://eel.is/c++draft/temp.res.general#4):

> A [type-only
context](https://eel.is/c++draft/temp.res.general#def:context,type-only)
is defined as follows: A qualified or unqualified name is said to be in
a type-only context if it is the terminal name of
> - ...
> - a [type-specifier](https://eel.is/c++draft/dcl.type.general#nt:type-specifier) of a
>   - ...
> - [conversion-type-id](https://eel.is/c++draft/class.conv.fct#nt:conversion-type-id),

Towards #54150.
