Improve parser recovery when we encounter a dependent template name
that is missing the 'template' keyword, e.g.,
t->getAs<T>()
where getAs is a member of an unknown specialization. C++ requires
that we treat "getAs" as a value, but that would fail to parse since T
is the name of a type. We would then fail at the '>', since a type
cannot be followed by a '>'.
This is a very common error for C++ programmers to make, especially
since GCC occasionally allows it when it shouldn't (as does Visual
C++). So, when we are in this case, we use tentative parsing to see if
the tokens starting at "<" can only be parsed as a template argument
list. If so, we produce a diagnostic with a fix-it that states that
the 'template' keyword is needed:
test/SemaTemplate/dependent-template-recover.cpp:5:8: error: 'template' keyword
is required to treat 'getAs' as a dependent template name
t->getAs<T>();

template
This is just a start of this patch; I'd like to apply the same
approach to everywhere that a template-id with dependent template name
can be parsed.
