[ClangTidy - performance-unnecessary-value-param]: Do not issue fix for functions that are referenced outside of callExpr

[flx]

Summary

Suppress fixes for functions that are referenced within the compilation unit outside of a call expression as the signature change could break the code referencing the function.

We still issue a warning in this case so that users can decide to manually change the function signature.

[aaron.ballman]

Aside from a commenting nit, LGTM.

clang-tidy/performance/UnnecessaryValueParamCheck.cpp

130

Not grammatically correct; should be "1. when the ParmVarDecl is in a macro, since..."

Thanks for the review!
