[PATCH] D13313: [clang-tidy] new check misc-no-reinterpret-cast

[Matthias Gehre via cfe-commits]

This check flags all uses of reinterpret_cast in C++ code.

Use of these casts can violate type safety and cause the program to
access a variable that is actually of type X to be accessed as if it
were of an unrelated type Z.

This rule is part of the "Type safety" profile of the C++ Core
Guidelines, see
https://github.com/isocpp/CppCoreGuidelines/blob/master/CppCoreGuidelines.md#-type1-dont-use-reinterpret_cast.
