It's been 2 days, maybe we should just submit this and see if anything goes 
wrong?
Besides, the CI seems green now, so hopefully everything has already been 
checked.

This use-case is different, we need a way to change the set of reported 
diagnostics in Clang even if the diagnostic is produced in libc++ tests. 
Blocking changes to Clang because libc++ tests against nightly and head builds 
looks too harsh.

I think we need to find some alternative solution that works here. The obvious 
solution that I see is to run the nightly Clang as post-submits and allow them 
to be broken for this reasons (as it will fix itself after nightly Clang gets 
rebuilt).

@AaronBallman, @cor3ntin what are your thoughts as Clang maintainers? TLDR; is 
that libc++ runs tests in CI with both head Clang and nightly Clang builds. 
Therefore, if we happen to change the set of reported diagnostics in Clang (in 
this case it was a spurious error in initialization of invalid classes that got 
silenced with a Clang change), we cannot land this change without breaking the 
libc++ CI.
