Summary:
The diagnostic was mostly introduced in D38101 by me, as a reaction to wasting a lot of time, see [[ https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/cfe-commits/Week-of-Mon-20171009/206427.html | mail ]].
However, the diagnostic is pretty dumb. While it works with no false-positives,
there are some questionable cases that are diagnosed when one would argue that they should not be.
The common complaint is that it diagnoses the comparisons between an `int` and
`long` when compiling for a 32-bit target as tautological, but not when
compiling for 64-bit targets. The underlying problem is obvious: data model.
In most cases, 64-bit target is `LP64` (`int` is 32-bit, `long` and pointer are
64-bit), and the 32-bit target is `ILP32` (`int`, `long`, and pointer are 32-bit).
I.e. the common pattern is: (pseudocode)
```
#include <limits>
#include <cstdint>
int main() {
using T1 = long;
using T2 = int;
T1 r;
if (r < std::numeric_limits<T2>::min()) {}
if (r > std::numeric_limits<T2>::max()) {}
}
```
As an example, D39149 was trying to fix this diagnostic in libc++, and it was not well-received.
This *could* be "fixed", by changing the diagnostics logic to something like
`if the types of the values being compared are different, but are of the same size, then do diagnose`,
and i even attempted to do so in D39462, but as @rjmccall rightfully commented,
that implementation is incomplete to say the least.
So to stop causing trouble, and avoid contaminating upcoming release, lets do this workaround:
* move these three diags (`warn_unsigned_always_true_comparison`, `warn_unsigned_enum_always_true_comparison`, `warn_tautological_constant_compare`) into it's own `-Wtautological-constant-in-range-compare`
* Disable them by default
* Make them part of `-Wextra`
* Additionally, give `warn_tautological_constant_compare` it's own flag `-Wtautological-type-limit-compare`.
I'm not happy about that name, but i can't come up with anything better.
This way all three of them can be enabled/disabled either altogether, or one-by-one.

This mimics FileCheck's --check-prefixes option.
The default prefix is "expected". That is, "-verify" is equivalent to
"-verify=expected".
The goal is to permit exercising a single test suite source file with different
compiler options producing different sets of diagnostics. While cpp can be
combined with the existing -verify to accomplish the same goal, source is often
easier to maintain when it's not cluttered with preprocessor directives or
duplicate passages of code. For example, this patch also rewrites some existing
clang tests to demonstrate the benefit of this feature.

The first attempt, rL315614 was reverted because one libcxx
test broke, and i did not know at the time how to deal with it.
Summary:
Currently, clang only diagnoses completely out-of-range comparisons (e.g. `char` and constant `300`),
and comparisons of unsigned and `0`. But gcc also does diagnose the comparisons with the
`std::numeric_limits<>::max()` / `std::numeric_limits<>::min()` so to speak
Finally Fixes https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34147
