LOG: [clang] Diagnose dangling issues for the "Container<GSLPointer>" case. (#107213)

This pull request enhances the GSL lifetime analysis to detect
situations where a dangling `Container<GSLPointer>` object is
constructed:

```cpp
std::vector<std::string_view> bad = {std::string()}; // dangling
```

The assignment case is not yet supported, but they will be addressed in
a follow-up.

Fixes #100526 (excluding the `push_back` case).

+If a template class is annotated with ``[[gsl::Owner]]``, and the first
+instantiated template argument is a pointer type (raw pointer, or ``[[gsl::Pointer]]``),
+the analysis will consider the instantiated class as a container of the pointer.
+When constructing such an object from a GSL owner object, the analysis will
+assume that the container holds a pointer to the owner object. Consequently,
