c, c++: Accept __builtin_classify_type (typename)
As mentioned in my stdckdint.h mail, __builtin_classify_type has
a problem that argument promotion (the argument is passed to ...
prototyped builtin function) means that certain type classes will
simply never appear.
I think it is too late to change how it behaves, lots of code in the
wild might rely on the current behavior.
So, the following patch adds option to use a typename rather than
expression as the operand to the builtin, making it behave similarly
to sizeof, typeof or say the clang _Generic extension where the
first argument can be there not just expression, but also typename.
I think we have other prior art here, e.g. __builtin_va_arg also
expects typename.
I've added this to both C and C++, because it would be weird if it
supported it only in C and not in C++.
