Ben Hamilton b4ab4b6317 [clang-tidy] ObjC ARC objects should not trigger performance-unnecessary-value-param
Summary:
The following Objective-C code currently incorrectly triggers
clang-tidy's performance-unnecessary-value-param check:

```
% cat /tmp/performance-unnecessary-value-param-arc.m
void foo(id object) { }

clang-tidy /tmp/performance-unnecessary-value-param-arc.m
-checks=-\*,performance-unnecessary-value-param -- -xobjective-c
-fobjc-abi-version=2 -fobjc-arc
1 warning generated.
/src/llvm/tools/clang/tools/extra/test/clang-tidy/performance-unnecessary-value-param-arc.m:10:13:
warning: the parameter 'object' is copied for each invocation but only
used as a const reference; consider making it a const reference
[performance-unnecessary-value-param]
void foo(id object) { }
         ~~ ^
         const &
```

This is wrong for a few reasons:

1) Objective-C doesn't have references, so `const &` is not going to help
2) ARC heavily optimizes the "expensive" copy which triggers the warning

This fixes the issue by disabling the warning for non-C++, as well as
disabling it for objects under ARC memory management for
Objective-C++.

Fixes https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32075

Test Plan: New tests added. Ran tests with `make -j12 check-clang-tools`.
