LOG: [clang-tidy] Add an option to exclude files not present in the compile database (#120348)

A change list may include files that are not part of the compile
database, which can cause clang-tidy to fail (e.g., due to missing
included headers). To prevent false negatives, we should allow to skip
processing these files.

 Improvements to clang-tidy
 --------------------------
 
+- Improved :program:`clang-tidy-
diff .py` script. Add the `-only-check-in-db`
+  option to exclude files not present in the compilation database, avoiding
+  false-negative results.
+
 - Improved :program:`run-clang-tidy.py` script. Fixed minor shutdown noise
   happening on certain platforms when interrupting the script.
