[clang] [clang] Fix false positive regression for lifetime analysis warning. (PR #127460)

[Haojian Wu via cfe-commits]

https://github.com/hokein created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/127460

This fixes a false positive caused by #114044.

For `GSLPointer*` types, it's less clear whether the lifetime issue is about the GSLPointer object itself or the owner it points to. To avoid false positives, we take a conservative approach in our heuristic.

Fixes #127195

(This will be backported to release 20).
