At least LibreOffice has, for mainly historic reasons that would be hard to
change now, a class Any with an overloaded operator >>= that semantically does
not assign to the LHS but rather extracts into the (by-reference) RHS. Which
thus caused false positive -Wunused-but-set-parameter and
-Wunused-but-set-variable after those have been introduced recently.
This change is more conservative about the assumed semantics of overloaded
operators, excluding compound assignment operators but keeping plain operator =
ones. At least for LibreOffice, that strikes a good balance of not producing
false positives but still finding lots of true ones.
(The change to the BinaryOperator case in MaybeDecrementCount is necessary
because e.g. the template f4 test code in warn-unused-but-set-variables-cpp.cpp
turns the += into a BinaryOperator.)

These are intended to mimic warnings available in gcc.
-Wunused-but-set-variable is triggered in the case of a variable which
appears on the LHS of an assignment but not otherwise used.
For instance:
void f() {
int x;
x = 0;
}
-Wunused-but-set-parameter works similarly, but for function parameters
instead of variables.
In C++, they are triggered only for scalar types; otherwise, they are
triggered for all types. This is gcc's behavior.
-Wunused-but-set-parameter is controlled by -Wextra, while
-Wunused-but-set-variable is controlled by -Wunused. This is slightly
different from gcc's behavior, but seems most consistent with clang's
behavior for -Wunused-parameter and -Wunused-variable.
