As the following testcase shows, we don't parse properly
C++11 attribute-declaration:
https://eel.is/c++draft/dcl.dcl#nt:attribute-declaration
cp_parser_toplevel_declaration just handles empty-declaration parsing
(with diagnostics for C++98) and otherwise calls cp_parser_declaration
which on it calls cp_parser_simple_declaration and rejects it with
"does not declare anything" permerror.
The following patch moves the handling of empty-declaration from
cp_parser_toplevel_declaration to cp_parser_declaration and
handles attribute-declaration in cp_parser_declaration
by parsing the attributes (standard ones only, we've never supported
__attribute__((...)); at namespace scope, so I'm not sure we need to
introduce that), which for C++98 emits the needed diagnostics, and then
warning if there are any attributes that we throw away on the floor.
I'll need this later for OpenMP directives at namespace scope, e.g.
[[omp::directive (requires, atomic_default_mem_order(seq_cst))]];
should be valid at namespace scope (and many other directives).
