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];
int x;
// warn on these conditionals
if (foo);
if (arr);
if (&x);
if (foo == null);
if (arr == null);
if (&x == null);
if (&foo); // no warning

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.
