Subject: [PATCH] [Clang] Enable -Wunused-template under -Wall

Uncomment UnusedTemplate in the Unused diagnostic group so -Wunused-template
is part of -Wall. It diagnoses unused function and variable templates with
internal linkage; in a header, such a template gives every translation unit
its own internal-linkage copy, which is a latent ODR violation.

Also update the affected tests (Misc/warning-wall.c and the
warn-func-not-needed.cpp / warn-variable-not-needed.cpp -verify tests) and add
a release note.

Closes #202945.
