[cfe-dev] [clang-tidy] Excluding individual files/lines from clang-tidy checks

[Nikita via cfe-dev]

Well, I'm trying to mimic the behavior of '-line-filter'. But I also
think that JSON is cumbersome. It requires putting arguments in
quotes, plus the format itself seems a bit redundant. Specifying
'[{"name":"file.h"}]' without the line range seemingly does nothing.
Diagnostics for "file.h" will be emitted even without this filter.
