Roman Lebedev 2634bd5995 [clang-tidy] Avoid C arrays check
Summary:
[[ https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39224 | PR39224 ]]
As discussed, we can't always do the transform automatically due to that array-to-pointer decay of C array.
In order to detect whether we can do said transform, we'd need to be able to see all usages of said array,
which is, i would say, rather impossible if e.g. it is in the header.
Thus right now no fixit exists.

Exceptions: `extern "C"` code.
