The `-Wpointer-sign` warning text is inappropriate for describing the
incompatible pointer conversion between plain `char` and explicitly
`signed`/`unsigned` `char` (whichever plain `char` has the same range
as) and vice versa.
Specifically, in part, it reads "converts between pointers to integer
types with different sign". This patch changes that portion to read
instead as "converts between pointers to integer types where one is of
the unique plain 'char' type and the other is not" when one of the types
is plain `char`.
C17 subclause 6.5.16.1 indicates that the conversions resulting in
`-Wpointer-sign` warnings in assignment-like contexts are constraint
violations. This means that strict conformance requires a diagnostic for
the case where the message text is wrong before this patch. The lack of
an even more specialized warning group is consistent with GCC.

method parameter, provide a note pointing at the parameter itself so
the user does not have to manually look for the function/method being
called and match up parameters to arguments. For example, we now get:
t.c:4:5: warning: incompatible pointer types passing 'long *' to
parameter of
type 'int *' [-pedantic]
f(long_ptr);
^~~~~~~~
t.c:1:13: note: passing argument to parameter 'x' here
void f(int *x);

destination type for initialization, assignment, parameter-passing,
etc. The main issue fixed here is that we used rather confusing
wording for diagnostics such as
t.c:2:9: warning: initializing 'char const [2]' discards qualifiers,
expected 'char *' [-pedantic]
char *name = __func__;
^ ~~~~~~~~
We're not initializing a 'char const [2]', we're initializing a 'char
*' with an expression of type 'char const [2]'. Similar problems
existed for other diagnostics in this area, so I've normalized them all
with more precise descriptive text to say what we're
initializing/converting/assigning/etc. from and to. The warning for
the code above is now:
t.c:2:9: warning: initializing 'char *' from an expression of type
'char const [2]' discards qualifiers [-pedantic]
char *name = __func__;
^ ~~~~~~~~
Fixes <rdar://problem/7447179>.

- This is designed to make it obvious that %clang_cc1 is a "test variable"
which is substituted. It is '%clang_cc1' instead of '%clang -cc1' because it
can be useful to redefine what gets run as 'clang -cc1' (for example, to set
a default target).

incompatibilities in assignments from other pointer incompatibilities.
Based off of the patch in PR3342. (This doesn't implement -Wno-pointer-sign,
but I don't know the driver code very well.)
