callee in constant evaluation.
We previously made a deep copy of function parameters of class type when
passing them, resulting in the destructor for the parameter applying to
the original argument value, ignoring any modifications made in the
function body. This also meant that the 'this' pointer of the function
parameter could be observed changing between the caller and the callee.
This change completely reimplements how we model function parameters
during constant evaluation. We now model them roughly as if they were
variables living in the caller, albeit with an artificially reduced
scope that covers only the duration of the function call, instead of
modeling them as temporaries in the caller that we partially "reparent"
into the callee at the point of the call. This brings some minor
diagnostic improvements, as well as significantly reduced stack usage
during constant evaluation.

GCC implements -Wvla as "warn on every VLA" (this is useful to find every VLA,
for example, if they are forbidden by coding guidelines). Currently Clang
implements -Wvla as "warn on VLA when it is an extension".
The attached patch makes our behavior match GCC. The existing vla extwarn is
moved under -Wvla-extension and is still included into -Wgnu.
This fixes PR5953.
