r280553 introduced an issue where we'd emit ambiguity errors for code
like:

```
void foo(int *, int);
void foo(unsigned int *, unsigned int);

void callFoo() {
  unsigned int i;
  foo(&i, 0); // ambiguous: int->unsigned int is worse than int->int,
              // but unsigned int*->unsigned int* is better than
              // int*->int*.
}
```

This patch fixes this issue by changing how we handle ill-formed (but
valid) implicit conversions. Candidates with said conversions now always
rank worse than candidates without them, and two candidates are
considered to be equally bad if they both have these conversions for
the same argument.

Additionally, this fixes a case in C++11 where we'd complain about an
ambiguity in a case like:

```
void f(char *, int);
void f(const char *, unsigned);
void g() { f("abc", 0); }
```

...Since conversion to char* from a string literal is considered
ill-formed in C++11 (and deprecated in C++03), but we accept it as an
extension.
