c++: Fix wrong paren-init of aggregates interference [PR93790]
This PR points out that we are rejecting valid code in C++20. The
problem is that we were surreptitiously transforming
T& t(e)
into
T& t{e}
which is wrong, because the type of e had a conversion function to T,
while aggregate initialization of t from e doesn't work. Therefore, I
was violating a design principle of P0960, which says that any existing
meaning of A(b) should not change. So I think we should only attempt to
aggregate-initialize if the original expression was ill-formed.
Another design principle is that () should work where {} works, so this:
struct S { int i; };
const S& s(1);
has to keep working. Thus the special handling for paren-lists with one
element. (A paren-list with more than one element would give you "error:
expression list treated as compound expression in initializer" C++17.)

* call.c (initialize_reference): If the reference binding failed, maybe
try initializing from { }.
* decl.c (grok_reference_init): For T& t(e), set
LOOKUP_AGGREGATE_PAREN_INIT but don't build up a constructor yet.
