[clang-tidy] Add new check cppcoreguidelines-pro-bounds-array-to-pointer-decay
Summary: This check flags all array to pointer decays. Pointers should not be used as arrays. array_view is a bounds-checked, safe alternative to using pointers to access arrays. This rule is part of the "Bounds safety" profile of the C++ Core Guidelines, see https://github.com/isocpp/CppCoreGuidelines/blob/master/CppCoreGuidelines.md#-bounds3-no-array-to-pointer-decay Reviewers: alexfh, sbenza, bkramer, aaron.ballman Subscribers: cfe-commits Differential Revision: http://reviews.llvm.org/D13640 llvm-svn: 251358
