[PATCH] D96607: [clang-tidy] Add check 'readability-pointer-type-star-placement'.

I think now that not checkers are the best solution for this problem. There is already a separate tool for formatting. And we do not want to have a checker for every other formatting rule too. The `clang-format` could be improved to support selective formatting (apply only a part of the formatting rules). (And it has weaknesses that may prevent users from using it.) It seems difficult to filter out changes related to pointer declarations (these rules are not line-based and multiplications should be excluded) after the formatting.
