Currently, the check is processing system macros. Most importantly, it tries to find .clang-tidy files associated with those files, if the option GetConfigPerFile (on by default) is active.

This is problematic for a number of reasons:

- System macros cannot be acted upon (renamed), so it's wasted work.
- When the main .cpp file includes a system header, clang-tidy tries to find the .clang-tidy file for that system header. When that system header is a 3rd-party repository, they may have their own .clang-tidy file, which may not be compatible with the current version of clang-tidy. So, clang-tidy may fail to analyze our main.cpp file, only because it includes a 3rd-party system header whose .clang-tidy file is incompatible with our clang-tidy binary.

Therefore, skip system macros in this check.
