[clang] Implement P3144R2 "Deleting a Pointer to an Incomplete Type..." (#97733)

This patch implements (not yet published)
[P3144R2](https://wiki.edg.com/pub/Wg21stlouis2024/StrawPolls/p3144r2.pdf)
"Deleting a Pointer to an Incomplete Type Should be Ill-formed". Wording
changes (not yet merged into the working draft) read:
> 7.6.2.9 [expr.delete] Delete
> If the object being deleted has incomplete class type at the point of
deletion <del>and the complete class has a
non-trivial destructor or a deallocation function, the behavior is
undefined</del>, <ins>the program is ill-formed</ins>.

We preserve status quo of emitting a warning when deleting a pointer to
incomplete type up to, and including, C++23, but make it ill-formed
since C++26. Same goes for deleting pointers to `void`, which has been
allowed as an extension.
