Now that we resolve non-dependent variable template-ids ahead of time,
cp_finish_decl needs to handle a new invalid situation: we can end up
trying to instantiate a variable template with deduced return type
before we fully parsed (and attached) its initializer.

Bootstrapped and regtested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, does this OK for
trunK?

gcc/cp/ChangeLog:

        * decl.cc (cp_finish_decl): Diagnose ordinary auto deduction
        with no initializer instead of asserting.

gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog:

        * g++.dg/cpp1y/var-templ79.C: New test.
