#68999 correctly computed conversion sequence for reversed args to a template operators. This was a breaking change as code, previously accepted in C++17, starts to break in C++20.

Example:

struct P {};
template<class S> bool operator==(const P&, const S &);

struct A : public P {};
struct B : public P {};
bool check(A a, B b) { return a == b; }  // This is now ambiguous in C++20.

In order to minimise widespread breakages, as a clang extension, we had previously accepted such ambiguities with a warning (-Wambiguous-reversed-operator) for non-template operators. Due to the same reasons, we extend this relaxation for template operators.

Fixes #53954

#68999 correctly computed conversion sequence for reversed args to a template operators. This was a breaking change as code, previously accepted in C++17, starts to break in C++20.

Example:

struct P {};
template&lt;class S&gt; bool operator==(const P&amp;, const S &amp;);

struct A : public P {};
struct B : public P {};
bool check(A a, B b) { return a == b; }  // This is now ambiguous in C++20.

In order to minimise widespread breakages, as a clang extension, we had previously accepted such ambiguities with a warning (-Wambiguous-reversed-operator) for non-template operators. Due to the same reasons, we extend this relaxation for template operators.

Fixes #53954

+- Fix a bug in reversed argument for templated operators.
+  This breaks code in C++20 which was previously accepted in C++17. Eg:
+  ```
+  struct P {};
+  template<class S> bool operator==(const P&, const S &);
+
+  struct A : public P {};
+  struct B : public P {};
+  // This equality is now ambiguous in C++20.
+  bool check(A a, B b) { return a == b; } 
+  ```
+  To reduce widespread breakages, as an extension, clang would accept this with a
+  `-Wambiguous-reversed-operator` warning.
+  Fixes `GH <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/53954>`_.

The change looks good, I believe the comments about potentially redundant checks and naming of the function could be addressed in a follow-up.

### New changes

Further relax ambiguities with a warning for member operators of a
template class (primary templates of such ops do not match). Eg:
```cpp
template <class T>
struct S {
    template <typename OtherT>
    bool operator==(const OtherT &rhs); 
};
struct A : S<int> {};
struct B : S<bool> {};
bool x = A{} == B{}; // accepted with a warning.
```

This is important for making llvm build using previous clang versions in
C++20 mode (eg: this makes the commit
e558be5 keep working with a warning
instead of an error).

### Description from #69595

#68999 correctly computed
conversion sequence for reversed args to a template operator. This was a
breaking change as code, previously accepted in C++17, starts to break
in C++20.

Example:
```cpp
struct P {};
template<class S> bool operator==(const P&, const S &);

struct A : public P {};
struct B : public P {};
bool check(A a, B b) { return a == b; }  // This is now ambiguous in C++20.
```

In order to minimise widespread breakages, as a clang extension, we had
previously accepted such ambiguities with a warning
(`-Wambiguous-reversed-operator`) for non-template operators. Due to the
same reasons, we extend this relaxation for template operators.
