[Clang] Make the SizeType, SignedSizeType and PtrdiffType be named sugar types instead of built-in types (#143653) Including the results of `sizeof`, `sizeof...`, `__datasizeof`, `__alignof`, `_Alignof`, `alignof`, `_Countof`, `size_t` literals, and signed `size_t` literals, the results of pointer-pointer subtraction and checks for standard library functions (and their calls). The goal is to enable clang and downstream tools such as clangd and clang-tidy to provide more portable hints and diagnostics. The previous discussion can be found at #136542. This PR implements this feature by introducing a new subtype of `Type` called `PredefinedSugarType`, which was considered appropriate in discussions. I tried to keep `PredefinedSugarType` simple enough yet not limited to `size_t` and `ptrdiff_t` so that it can be used for other purposes. `PredefinedSugarType` wraps a canonical `Type` and provides a name, conceptually similar to a compiler internal `TypedefType` but without depending on a `TypedefDecl` or a source file. Additionally, checks for the `z` and `t` format specifiers in format strings for `scanf` and `printf` were added. It will precisely match expressions using `typedef`s or built-in expressions. The affected tests indicates that it works very well. Several code require that `SizeType` is canonical, so I kept `SizeType` to its canonical form. The failed tests in CI are allowed to fail. See the [comment](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/135386#issuecomment-3049426611) in another PR #135386.
