[clang-tidy] Add modernize-printf-to-std-print check
Add FormatStringConverter utility class that is capable of converting
printf-style format strings into std::print-style format strings along
with recording a set of casts to wrap the arguments as required and
removing now-unnecessary calls to std::string::c_str() and
std::string::data()
Use FormatStringConverter to implement a new clang-tidy check that is
capable of converting calls to printf, fprintf, absl::PrintF,
absl::FPrintF, or any functions configured by an option to calls to
std::print and std::println, or other functions configured by options.
In other words, the check turns:
fprintf(stderr, "The %s is %3d\n", description.c_str(), value);
into:
std::println(stderr, "The {} is {:3}", description, value);
if it can.
std::print and std::println can do almost anything that standard printf
can, but the conversion has some some limitations that are described in
the documentation. If conversion is not possible then the call remains
unchanged.

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.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
For information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.
Join the LLVM Discourse forums, Discord chat, or #llvm IRC channel on OFTC.
The LLVM project has adopted a code of conduct for participants to all modes of communication within the project.
