gcc 11.2.0 compiles us just fine but clang 13.0.1 fails with this error

The same error can be reproduced with this C++ input
template<typename T, int N>
struct Array
{
T m_data[N];
};
void test() {
(void)Array{{1, 2}};
}
Since "Array" has no constructor, the compiler uses aggregate
initialization. Only recent g++ seems to be smart enough to deduce
template arguments in this case. Help other compilers by adding a
deduction guide. The deduction guide needs to count the array elements
to infer the array size, hence we need to remove braces. Happily,
this is allowed and it's also what std::array does.
Closes#4597
