This patch implements DR2397, which removes the restriction in
[dcl.array]p4 that the array element type may not be a placeholder
type.  We don't need to worry about decltype(auto) here, so this
allows code like

   int a[3];
   auto (*p)[3] = &a;
   auto (&r)[3] = a;

However, note that

   auto (&&r)[2] = { 1, 2 };
   auto arr[2] = { 1, 2 };

still doesn't work (although one day it might) and neither does

   int arr[5];
   auto x[5] = arr;

given that auto deduction is performed in terms of function template
argument deduction, so the array decays to *.

Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.  Does this look OK or
have I missed a case we want to support?

Let's at least update this comment to quote [dcl.type.auto.deduct]/2: "T shall not be an array type". I guess "unable to deduce" is a suitable diagnostic for that error.

Well, not really; any attempt to use this template should hit the same problem as above of trying to do auto deduction where T is an array type. Please add to the testcase to get the error.

-template<auto [1]> struct S; // { dg-error "creating array of .auto." }
+template<auto [1]> struct S;
