[clang-tools-extra] Add new check: do not return 0; at the end of main() in C++ (PR #77586)

https://github.com/11happy created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/77586

**Overview:**
This pull request fixes #38469 where the issue proposes a new static analysis check in C++ to discourage the explicit return 0; statement at the end of the main() function. As C++ automatically assumes a return 0; in this context, having the explicit statement is redundant. The suggested change aims to enhance code readability by eliminating unnecessary lines in the main() function.

**Testing:**
- Tested the updated code.
- Verified that other functionalities remain unaffected.
