LOG: [clang-tidy] Add portability-std-allocator-const check

Report use of ``std::vector<const T>`` (and similar containers of const
elements). These are now allowed in standard C++ due to undefined
``std::allocator<const T>``. They do not compile with libstdc++ or MSVC.
Future libc++ will remove the extension (D120996).
See docs/clang-tidy/checks/portability-std-allocator-const.rst for detail.

I have attempted clean-up in a large code base. Here are some statistics:

* 98% are related to the container `std::vector`, among `deque/forward_list/list/multiset/queue/set/stack/vector`.
* 24% are related to `std::vector<const std::string>`.
* Both `std::vector<const absl::string_view>` and `std::vector<const int>` contribute 2%. The other contributors spread over various class types.

The check can be useful to other large code bases and may serve as an example
for future libc++ strictness improvement.

+
+portability-std-allocator-const
+===============================
+
+Report use of ``std::vector<const T>`` (and similar containers of const
+elements). These are not allowed in standard C++, and should usually be
+``std::vector<T>`` instead."
+
+Per C++ ``[allocator.requirements.general]``: "T is any cv-unqualified object
+type", ``std::allocator<const T>`` is undefined. Many standard containers use
+``std::allocator`` by default and therefore their ``const T`` instantiations are
+undefined.
+
+libc++ defines ``std::allocator<const T>`` as an extension which will be removed
+in the future.
+
+libstdc++ and MSVC do not support ``std::allocator<const T>``:
+
+.. code:: c++
+
+  // libstdc++ has a better diagnostic since https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=48101
+  std::deque<const int> deque; // error: static assertion failed: std::deque must have a non-const, non-volatile value_type
+  std::set<const int> set; // error: static assertion failed: std::set must have a non-const, non-volatile value_type
+  std::vector<int* const> vector; // error: static assertion failed: std::vector must have a non-const, non-volatile value_type
+
+  // MSVC
+  // error C2338: static_assert failed: 'The C++ Standard forbids containers of const elements because allocator<const T> is ill-formed.'
+
+Code bases only compiled with libc++ may accrue such undefined usage. This
+check finds such code and prevents backsliding while clean-up is ongoing.
