[llvm] [ADT] Use static_assert in PackedVector (PR #164142)

[Kazu Hirata via llvm-commits]

https://github.com/kazutakahirata created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/164142

This patch replaces an intentionally undefined template
specialization:

  template <typename T> class PackedVector<T, 0>;

with:

  static_assert(BitNum > 0, "BitNum must be > 0");

This way, the compiler diagnostic on a use of PackedVector<T, 0>
improves from:

  error: implicit instantiation of undefined template
  'llvm::PackedVector<unsigned int, 0>'

to:

  error: static assertion failed due to requirement '0U > 0': BitNum
  must be > 0
