`dsymutil --verify` seems to be happy with the tag. Upon closer inspection, I think it uses the same "verifier" code as llvm-dwarfdump so that makes sense (#89589).

There's a couple of switches in llvm/lib/DWARFLinker that look like they want a DW_TAG_template_alias:
`DependencyTracker::isTypeTableCandidate` in `DependencyTracker.cpp` 
`AcceleratorRecordsSaver::save` in `AcceleratorRecordsSaver.cpp`. I'm not sure what a test for those would look like but I can look into it if you'd like?
