Makes total sense, this change to the contract of the class seems very reasonable.
I have also went through all usages and we don't see to have any uses left that don't check for null in return of `getQualifier`.
Could we update the documentation of the class? It currently says (see below) that the name must always be qualified, mentioning that it may also be qualified only with `template` keyword without the nested name specifier.
```cpp
/// Represents a template name that was expressed as a
/// qualified name.
///
/// This kind of template name refers to a template name that was
/// preceded by a nested name specifier, e.g., \c std::vector. Here,
/// the nested name specifier is "std::" and the template name is the
/// declaration for "vector". The QualifiedTemplateName class is only
/// used to provide "sugar" for template names that were expressed
/// with a qualified name, and has no semantic meaning. In this
/// manner, it is to TemplateName what ElaboratedType is to Type,
/// providing extra syntactic sugar for downstream clients.
