C89 had a questionable feature where the compiler would implicitly
declare a function that the user called but was never previously
declared. The resulting function would be globally declared as
extern int func(); -- a function without a prototype which accepts zero
or more arguments.
C99 removed support for this questionable feature due to severe
security concerns. However, there was no deprecation period; C89 had
the feature, C99 didn't. So Clang (and GCC) both supported the
functionality as an extension in C99 and later modes.
C2x no longer supports that function signature as it now requires all
functions to have a prototype, and given the known security issues with
the feature, continuing to support it as an extension is not tenable.
This patch changes the diagnostic behavior for the
-Wimplicit-function-declaration warning group depending on the language
mode in effect. We continue to warn by default in C89 mode (due to the
feature being dangerous to use). However, because this feature will not
be supported in C2x mode, we've diagnosed it as being invalid for so
long, the security concerns with the feature, and the trivial
workaround for users (declare the function), we now default the
extension warning to an error in C99-C17 mode. This still gives users
an easy workaround if they are extensively using the extension in those
modes (they can disable the warning or use -Wno-error to downgrade the
error), but the new diagnostic makes it more clear that this feature is
not supported and should be avoided. In C2x mode, we no longer allow an
implicit function to be defined and treat the situation the same as any
other lookup failure.

A significant number of our tests in C accidentally use functions
without prototypes. This patch converts the function signatures to have
a prototype for the situations where the test is not specific to K&R C
declarations. e.g.,
void func();
becomes
void func(void);
This is the eighth batch of tests being updated (there are a
significant number of other tests left to be updated).
It turns out that SourceManager::isInSystemHeader() crashes when an invalid
source location is passed into it. Invalid source locations are relatively
common: not only they come from body farms, but also, say, any function in C
that didn't come with a forward declaration would have an implicit
forward declaration with invalid source locations.
There's a more comfy API for us to use in the Static Analyzer:
CallEvent::isInSystemHeader(), so just use that.

In the wild, many cases of null pointer dereference, or uninitialized
value read occur because the value was meant to be initialized by the
inlined function, but did not, most often due to error condition in the
inlined function.
This change highlights the return branch taken by the inlined function,
in order to help user understand the error report and see why the value
was uninitialized.
