enabled some clang-tidy warnings for non-GUI code (#5679)
There are some clang-tidy warnings which cannot properly handle the
extensions used in the Qt code so the produce lots of false positives
and were previously enabled. With clang-tidy now offering the
possibility to inherit the parent configuration we can enable these
across the project and simply disable them for the GUI code.

No additional warnings were found as they were already fixed in earlier
commits without enabling the checks in question.

Cppcheck developer and build tools

* tools/matchcompiler.py

The matchcompiler.py is a build script that performs a few code transformations to .cpp files under the lib directory. These transformations are related to the use of Token::Match() function and are intended to improve code performance. The transformed files are saved on the build directory. This tool is silently used when building the code with SRCDIR=build, that is:

$ cd path/to/cppcheck
$ make MATCHCOMPILER=yes

Here is a simple example of the matchcompiler.py optimization. Suppose there is a file example.cpp under lib/:

// lib/example.cpp
void f1() {
    Token::Match(tok, "abc");
}

void f2() {
    const char *abc = "abc";
    Token::Match(tok, abc);
}

If you manually run matchcompiler.py from the main directory:

$ cd path/to/cppcheck
$ python tools/matchcompiler.py

A file example.cpp will be generated on the build directory:

// build/example.cpp
#include "token.h"
#include "errorlogger.h"
#include <string>
#include <cstring>
static const std::string matchStr1("abc");
// pattern: abc
static bool match1(const Token* tok) {
    if (!tok || !(tok->str()==matchStr1)/* abc */)
        return false;
    return true;
}
void f1() {
    match1(tok);
}

void f2() {
    const char *abc = "abc";
    Token::Match(tok, abc);
}

From this we can see that the usage of Token::Match() in f1() has been optimized, whereas the one in f2() couldn't be optimized (the string wasn't inline on the Token::Match() call). The developer doesn't need to use this tool during development but should be aware of these optimizations. Building with this optimization, cppcheck can get a boost of 2x of speed-up.

* tools/dmake.cpp

Automatically generates the main Makefile for Cppcheck (the main Makefile should not be modified manually). To build and run the dmake tool execute:

$ cd path/to/cppcheck
$ make dmake
$ ./dmake

* tools/reduce.py

Script that reduces code for a hang/false positive.

* tools/times.sh

Script to generate a times.log file that contains timing information of the last 20 revisions.

* tools/donate-cpu.py

Script to donate CPU time to Cppcheck project by checking current Debian packages.

* tools/test-my-pr.py

Script to compare result of working Cppcheck from your branch with main branch.

* tools/triage

This tool lets you comfortably look at Cppcheck analysis results for daca packages. It automatically downloads the package, extracts it and jumps to the corresponding source code for a Cppcheck message.
