[clang-tidy] Ignore forward declarations without definitions in the same translation unit in readability-identifier-naming

[jbcoe]

Summary

This change ensures that forward declarations of classes are not considered for identifier naming checks within a translation unit.

LGTM!

I don't see how your fix relates to the 'header-filter' option. I can image the following cases:

1. a class is forward declared and then a system header (i.e. not in header-filter) is included that defines the class -> should be no warning
2. a class is forward declared and then a user header (i.e. in header-filter) is included that defines the class -> should be a warning
3. a class is forward declared and never defined -> should be no warning

It seems that you only consider point 3), correct?

@mgehre, you're right. I only consider "a class is forward declared and never defined -> should be no warning" and do not test for classes that are declared in excluded headers or system headers.

1 and 2 are a part of a more generic problem related to changes that need to be "transactional" (i.e. either all of the changes from a certain group - for example, renaming a certain identifier - need to be applied, or none). And we don't have a good solution to that yet. I don't think this can be properly solved exclusively on the level of the check, there should be some infrastructure support for this as well.
