[clang-tidy] performance-unnecessary-copy-initialization: handle pointer containers.

[courbet]

Summary

This includes modifying DeclRefExprUtils to handle more cases.

[courbet]

Rebase on submitted unit tests so that we can see the changes better.

[flx]

This looks great, but goes past my knowledge of the AST API :) While the existing and new test coverage provides good confidence, one other reviewer taking look would be good.

Reuse Ctx here?

[courbet]

Add more comments on the approach.

+  // The idea of the algorithm is that even if the root DeclRefExpr (`Node`) is
+  // modifiable, it can be cast to a const higher up in the AST. For example:
+  //
+  // |-CallExpr <line:16:3, col:17> 'void'
+  //   | |-ImplicitCastExpr <col:3> 'void (*)(const S *)' <FunctionToPointerDecay>
+  //   | | `-DeclRefExpr <col:3> 'void (const S *)' lvalue Function 0x55e4ecbc8208 'useConstPtr' 'void (const S *)'
+  //   | `-ImplicitCastExpr <col:15, col:16> 'const S *' <NoOp>

+  //   |     `-DeclRefExpr <col:16> 'S' lvalue ParmVar 0x55e4ecbc82c0 's' 'S'
+  //
+  // The only node where constness matters is the `ImplicitCastExpr` to
+  // `const S*`, because that's the one that is passed to the `CallExpr`. The
+  // fact that intermediate nodes (e.g. `UnaryOperator`) can modify the value is
+  // irrelevant, because no ancestor of these nodes actually observes their
+  // value in a mutable way.
+  //
+  // We classify nodes in two types depending on whether they can modify the
+  // state of the objects represented by their arguments: We call "vetted" the
+  // nodes that cannot change the that state.
+  // For example, a `CallExpr` node can mutate the state of its arguments
+  // (e.g., a function that takes a parameter by reference can mutate the state
+  // of that argument), so it is not vetted. However, an `LValueToRValue` cast
+  // does not directly change the state of its argument, (only a parent can) so
+  // it is vetted.
+  //
+  // The algorithm works as follows: we look at the inverse tree rooted at
+  // `Node` (DeclRefExpr->UnaryOperator->ImplicitCastExpr->CallExpr in the
+  // example), and walk up the vetted nodes to find nodes that have unvetted
+  // parents. We call these "unsafe" nodes.
+  // In the example above, the DeclRefExpr, UnaryOperator, and ImplicitCastExpr
+  // are vetted. The DeclRefExpr and UnaryOperator are safe, and the
+  // ImplicitCastExpr is unsafe.
+  // When we find an unsafe node, we finally check whether the type of that node
+  // allows mutations (in which case the parent can actually mutate the state),
+  // or not (e.g. a `const T*` rvalue cannot be modified through that pointer).
+  // If we find an unsafe node with a type that allows mutation, we cannot
+  // guarantee the the value is used only in a const way, so we return false.
+  // Else, we keep traversing the tree until we find a mutable unsafe node or
+  // there are no more nodes, in which case we conclude that there is no way to
+  // modify the state of the root.
