[clang-tidy] Add more detection rules for redundant c_str calls.
Summary: The string class contains methods which support receiving either a string literal or a string object. For example, calls to append can receive either a char* or a string. ``` string& append (const string& str); string& append (const char* s); ``` Which make these cases equivalent, and the .c_str() useless: ``` std::string s = "123"; str.append(s); str.append(s.c_str()); ``` In these cases, removing .c_str() doesn't provide any size or speed improvement. It's only a readability issue. If the string contains embedded NUL characters, the string literal and the string object won't produce the same semantic.
