Fixes #<!-- -->230601

This PR addresses the false-negative scenario where `bugprone-redundant-branch-condition` fails to trigger on simple two-variable logical conjunction expressions (e.g., `if (x && y) { if (y) ... }`). 

Note: This is a partial fix. As noted in the code's `// FIXME` comments, handling longer conjunctive and disjunctive chain clauses (3 or more variables) requires further extension is not yet touched.
