Reland [Clang] Make the SizeType, SignedSizeType and PtrdiffType be named sugar types (#149613)

The checks for the 'z' and 't' format specifiers added in the original
PR #143653 had some issues and were overly strict, causing some build
failures and were consequently reverted at
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/4c85bf2fe8042c855c9dd5be4b02191e9d071ffd.

In the latest commit
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/149613/commits/27c58629ec76a703fde9c0b99b170573170b4a7a,
I relaxed the checks for the 'z' and 't' format specifiers, so warnings
are now only issued when they are used with mismatched types.

The original intent of these checks was to diagnose code that assumes
the underlying type of `size_t` is `unsigned` or `unsigned long`, for
example:

```c
printf("%zu", 1ul); // Not portable, but not an error when size_t is unsigned long
```  

However, it produced a significant number of false positives. This was
partly because Clang does not treat the `typedef` `size_t` and
`__size_t` as having a common "sugar" type, and partly because a large
amount of existing code either assumes `unsigned` (or `unsigned long`)
is `size_t`, or they define the equivalent of size_t in their own way
(such as
sanitizer_internal_defs.h).https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/2e67dcfdcd023df2f06e0823eeea23990ce41534/compiler-rt/lib/sanitizer_common/sanitizer_internal_defs.h#L203

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
