Subject: [clang-tidy] new check
 cppcoreguidelines-pro-bounds-pointer-arithmetic

Summary:
This check flags all usage of pointer arithmetic, because it could lead
to an
invalid pointer.
Subtraction of two pointers is not flagged by this check.

Pointers should only refer to single objects, and pointer arithmetic is
fragile and easy to get wrong. array_view is a bounds-checked, safe type
for accessing arrays of data.

This rule is part of the "Bounds safety" profile of the C++ Core
Guidelines, see
https://github.com/isocpp/CppCoreGuidelines/blob/master/CppCoreGuidelines.md#-bounds1-dont-use-pointer-arithmetic-use-array_view-instead

Depends on D13313
