Matthias Gehre 37f10a0c25 [clang-tidy] add check cppcoreguidelines-pro-bounds-constant-array-index
Summary:
This is http://reviews.llvm.org/D13746 but instead of including <array>,
a stub is provided.
This check flags all array subscriptions on static arrays and
std::arrays that either have a non-compile-time-constant index or are
out of bounds.

Dynamic accesses into arrays are difficult for both tools and humans to
validate as safe. array_view is a bounds-checked, safe type for
accessing arrays of data. at() is another alternative that ensures
single accesses are bounds-checked. If iterators are needed to access an
array, use the iterators from an array_view constructed over the array.

This rule is part of the "Bounds safety" profile of the C++ Core
Guidelines, see
https://github.com/isocpp/CppCoreGuidelines/blob/master/CppCoreGuidelines.md#-bounds2-only-index-into-arrays-using-constant-expressions
