This has two significant effects:
1) Direct relational comparisons between null pointer constants (0 and nullopt)
and pointers are now ill-formed. This was always the case for C, and it
appears that C++ only ever permitted by accident. For instance, cases like
nullptr < &a
are now rejected.
2) Comparisons and conditional operators between differently-cv-qualified
pointer types now work, and produce a composite type that both source
pointer types can convert to (when possible). For instance, comparison
between 'int **' and 'const int **' is now valid, and uses an intermediate
type of 'const int *const *'.
Clang previously supported #2 as an extension.
We do not accept the cases in #1 as an extension. I've tested a fair amount of
code to check that this doesn't break it, but if it turns out that someone is
relying on this, we can easily add it back as an extension.
This is a re-commit of r284800.

null comparison when the pointer is known to be non-null.
This catches the array to pointer decay, function to pointer decay and
address of variables. This does not catch address of function since this
has been previously used to silence a warning.
Pointer to bool conversion is under -Wbool-conversion.
Pointer to null comparison is under -Wtautological-pointer-compare, a sub-group
of -Wtautological-compare.
void foo() {
int arr[5];

Old warning:
warning: use of NULL in arithmetic operation [-Wnull-arithmetic]
return 10 <= NULL;

New warning:
warning: comparison between NULL and non-pointer ('int' and NULL) [-Wnull-arithmetic]
return 10 <= NULL;

arithmetic into a couple of common routines. Use these to make the
messages more consistent in the various contexts, especially in terms of
consistently diagnosing binary operators with invalid types on both the
left- and right-hand side. Also, improve the grammar and wording of the
messages some, handling both two pointers and two (different) types.
The wording of function pointer arithmetic diagnostics still strikes me
as poorly phrased, and I worry this makes them slightly more awkward if
more consistent. I'm hoping to fix that with a follow-on patch and test
case that will also make them more helpful when a typedef or template
type parameter makes the type completely opaque.
Suggestions on better wording are very welcome, thanks to Richard Smith
for some initial help on that front.

types printed in various diagnostics.
We could omit checking for the types, but that can mask errors where the
wrong type is streamed into the diagnostic. There was at least one of
these caught by this test already.

pointers I found while working on the NULL arithmetic warning. We here
always assuming the LHS was the pointer, instead of using the selected
pointer expression.

effectively that this abstraction simply doesn't exist. That is
highlighted by the fact that by using it we were papering over a more
serious error in this warning: the fact that we warned for *invalid*
constructs involving member pointers and block pointers.
I've fixed the obvious issues with the warning here, but this is
confirming an original suspicion that this warning's implementation is
flawed. I'm looking into how we can implement this more reasonably. WIP
on that front.

Trieu, and fix them by checking for array and function types as well as
pointer types.
I've added a predicate method on Type to bundle together the logic we're
using here: isPointerLikeType(). I'd welcome better names for this
predicate, this is the best I came up with. It's implemented as a switch
to be a touch lighter weight than all the chained isa<...> casts that
would result otherwise.
