[clang][Parse] Diagnose useless null statements / empty init-statements
Summary: clang has `-Wextra-semi` (D43162), which is not dictated by the currently selected standard. While that is great, there is at least one more source of need-less semis - 'null statements'. Sometimes, they are needed: ``` for(int x = 0; continueToDoWork(x); x++) ; // Ugly code, but the semi is needed here. ``` But sometimes they are just there for no reason: ``` switch(X) { case 0: return -2345; case 5: return 0; default: return 42; }; // <- oops ;;;;;;;;;;; <- OOOOPS, still not diagnosed. Clearly this is junk. ``` Additionally: ``` if(; // <- empty init-statement true) ; switch (; // empty init-statement x) { ... } for (; // <- empty init-statement int y : S()) ; } As usual, things may or may not go sideways in the presence of macros. While evaluating this diag on my codebase of interest, it was unsurprisingly discovered that Google Test macros are *very* prone to this. And it seems many issues are deep within the GTest itself, not in the snippets passed from the codebase that uses GTest. So after some thought, i decided not do issue a diagnostic if the semi is within *any* macro, be it either from the normal header, or system header.
