Summary:
Pretty straight-forward, just count all the variable declarations in the function's body, and if more than the configured threshold - do complain.
Note that this continues perverse practice of disabling the new option by default.
I'm not certain where is the balance point between not being too noisy, and actually enforcing the good practice.
If we really want to not disable this by default, but also to not cause too many new warnings, we could default to 50 or so.
But that is a lot of variables too...
I was able to find one coding style referencing variable count:
- https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.15/process/coding-style.html#functions
> Another measure of the function is the number of local variables. They shouldn’t exceed 5-10, or you’re doing something wrong.

Summary:
Finds compound statements which create next nesting level after `NestingThreshold` and emits a warning.
Do note that it warns about each compound statement that breaches the threshold, but not any of it's sub-statements, to have readable warnings.
I was able to find only one coding style referencing nesting:
- https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.10/process/coding-style.html#indentation
> In short, 8-char indents make things easier to read, and have the added benefit of warning you when you’re nesting your functions too deep.
This seems too basic, i'm not sure what else to test. Are more tests needed?

Summary:
Add an option to function-size to warn about high parameter counts.
This might be relevant for cppcoreguidelines and the safety module as well. Since the safety module is not landed in master already, i did not create an alias, but that can be done later as well.

Summary:
Use a recursive visitor instead of forEachDescendant() matcher.
The latter requires several layers of virtual function calls for each node and
it is more expensive than the visitor.
Benchmark results show improvement of ~6% walltime in clang-tidy.

Changes mostly address formatting and unification of the style. Use
MarkDown style for inline code snippets and lists. Added some text
for a few checks.
The idea is to move most of the documentation out to separate rST files and have
implementation files refer to the corresponding documentation files.
