LOG: [Sema] tolerate more promotion matches in format string checking

It's been reported that when using __attribute__((format)) on non-variadic
functions, certain values that normally get promoted when passed as variadic
arguments now unconditionally emit a diagnostic:

```c
void foo(const char *fmt, float f) __attribute__((format(printf, 1, 2)));
void bar(void) {
	foo("%g", 123.f);
	//   ^ format specifies type 'double' but the argument has type 'float'
}
```

This is normally not an issue because float values get promoted to doubles when
passed as variadic arguments, but needless to say, variadic argument promotion
does not apply to non-variadic arguments.

While this can be fixed by adjusting the prototype of `foo`, this is sometimes
undesirable in C (for instance, if `foo` is ABI). In C++, using variadic
templates, this might instead require call-site fixing, which is tedious and
arguably needless work:

```c++
template<typename... Args>
void foo(const char *fmt, Args &&...args) __attribute__((format(printf, 1, 2)));
void bar(void) {
	foo("%g", 123.f);
	//   ^ format specifies type 'double' but the argument has type 'float'
}
```

To address this issue, we teach FormatString about a few promotions that have
always been around but that have never been exercised in the direction that
FormatString checks for:

* `char`, `unsigned char` -> `int`, `unsigned`
* `half`, `float16`, `float` -> `double`

This addresses issue https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/59824.

 Attribute Changes in Clang
 --------------------------
 
+- When a non-variadic function is decorated with the ``format`` attribute,
+  Clang now checks that the format string would match the function's parameters'
+  types after default argument promotion. As a result, it's no longer an
+  automatic diagnostic to use parameters of types that the format style
+  supports but that are never the result of default argument promotion, such as
+  ``float``. (`#59824: <https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/59824>`_)
