moc: Add basic support for nested inline namespaces

This improves moc's support for nested inline namespaces, so that code
containing them will not break compilation.
For simplicity, we allow nested inline namespaces even in C++17 mode
(the actual C++ compiler will reject the code anyway, and probably with
a better error message than moc could output).
moc still has no real awareness how inline namespaces work, but that is
a preexisting issue.

Pick-to: 6.4 6.2
Fixes: QTBUG-106920
