Fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/53876.

This is a solution for standard C++ casts: const_cast, dynamic_cast, reinterpret_cast, static_cast.

A general approach handling all possible casts is not possible without semantic information.
Consider the code:

  static_cast<T>(*function_pointer_variable)(arguments);

vs.

  some_return_type<T> (*function_pointer_variable)(parameters);
  // Later used as:
  function_pointer_variable = &some_function;
  return function_pointer_variable(args);

In the latter case, it's not a cast but a variable declaration of a pointer to function.
Without knowing what `some_return_type<T>` is (and clang-format does not know it), it's hard to distinguish between the two cases. Theoretically, one could check whether "parameters" are types (not a cast) and "arguments" are value/expressions (a cast), but that might be inefficient (needs lots of lookahead).
