Allow 'inline' on some declarations in MS compatibility mode (#125250)
Microsoft allows the 'inline' specifier on a typedef of a function type
in C modes. This is used by a system header (ufxclient.h), so instead
of giving a hard error, we diagnose with a warning. C++ mode and non-
Microsoft compatibility modes are not impacted.

improvements from the previous release and new feature work. For the
general LLVM release notes, see `the LLVM
documentation <https://llvm.org/docs/ReleaseNotes.html>`_. For the libc++ release notes,
see `this page <https://libcxx.llvm.org/ReleaseNotes.html>`_. All LLVM releases

- The flag `-frelaxed-template-template-args`

in the previous release, as described in P3310 and P3579, made this flag unnecessary.
