[clang] [Clang] Fix nonblocking warning for dependent default arguments (PR #235457)

[via cfe-commits]

https://github.com/MitraGulla created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/235457

This fixes an unexpected `-Wfunction-effects` warning that occurs when Clang analyzes a template's dependent default argument, even though the caller provides the argument explicitly.

Added a regression test for the reported issue and tests covering explicit and implicit arguments and other template default-argument cases.

## LLM usage

LLM was used to help understand the issue, and finding relevant code part. The implementation and test changes were reviewed and tested locally.
