Add string list option of type names analagous to `AllowedTypes` which lets
users specify a list of ExcludedContainerTypes.
Types matching this list will not trigger the check when an expensive variable
is copy initialized from a const accessor method they provide, i.e.:
```
ExcludedContainerTypes = 'ExcludedType'
void foo() {
ExcludedType<ExpensiveToCopy> Container;
const ExpensiveToCopy NecessaryCopy = Container.get();
}
```
Even though an expensive to copy variable is copy initialized the check does not
trigger because the container type is excluded.
This is useful for container types that don't own their data, such as view types
where modification of the returned references in other places cannot be reliably
tracked, or const incorrect types.

This fixes false positive cases where a reference is initialized outside of a
block statement and then its initializing variable is modified. Another case is
when the looped over container is modified.

It is not useful to keep the statement around and can lead to compiler
warnings when -Wall (-Wunused-variable specifically) turned on.

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

New option added to these three checks to be able to silence false positives on
types that are intentionally passed by value or copied. Such types are e.g.
intrusive reference counting pointer types like llvm::IntrusiveRefCntPtr. The
new option is named WhiteListTypes and can contain a semicolon-separated list of
names of these types. Regular expressions are allowed. Default is empty.

Summary:
Also trigger the check in the following case:
void foo() {
ExpensiveToCopy Obj;
const auto UnnecessaryCopy = Obj.constReference();
Obj.onlyUsedAsConst();
}
i.e. when the object the method is called on is not const but is never
modified.

Summary:
The patch adds a new ClangTidy check that detects when expensive-to-copy types are unnecessarily copy initialized from a const reference that has the same or are larger scope than the copy.
It currently only detects this when the copied variable is const qualified. But this will be extended to non const variables if they are only used in a const fashion.
