LOG: [run-clang-tidy.py] Add option to ignore source files from compilation database (#82416)

I added the option -source-filter to the
`run-clang-tidy.py` script in the clang-tools-extra.

This option allows for handing over a regex, to filter out source files
from the compilation database (not run `clang-tidy` on them).

Added: 
    

Modified: 
    clang-tools-extra/clang-tidy/tool/run-clang-tidy.py
    clang-tools-extra/docs/ReleaseNotes.rst

Removed:

 Improvements to clang-tidy
 --------------------------
 
+- Improved :program:`run-clang-tidy.py` script. Added argument `-source-filter`
+  to filter source files from the compilation database, via a RegEx. In a
+  similar fashion to what `-header-filter` does for header files.
