[clang-tidy] Extend bugprone-sizeof-expression check to detect sizeof misuse in pointer arithmetic
Some programmers tend to forget that subtracting two pointers results in the difference between them in number of elements of the pointee type instead of bytes. This leads to codes such as `size_t size = (p - q) / sizeof(int)` where `p` and `q` are of type `int*`. Or similarily, `if (p - q < buffer_size * sizeof(int)) { ... }`. This patch extends `bugprone-sizeof-expression` to detect such cases. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D61422 llvm-svn: 360032
