[dcl.type.auto.deduct]/5 "If the placeholder-type-specifier is of the
form type-constraintopt decltype(auto), T shall be the placeholder alone."

So, only plain decltype(auto) is allowed.  But we aren't diagnosing it in
function declarations, because do_auto_deduction is never called for those.

Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-linux, ok for trunk?
