Accidentally taking the size of a struct-pointer type or a value of this type
is more common than explicitly using the & operator for the value. This patch
extends the check to include these cases.

Some programmers tend to forget that subtracting two pointers results in the
difference between them in number of elements of the pointee type instead of
bytes. This leads to codes such as `size_t size = (p - q) / sizeof(int)` where
`p` and `q` are of type `int*`. Or similarily, `if (p - q < buffer_size *
sizeof(int)) { ... }`. This patch extends `bugprone-sizeof-expression` to
detect such cases.

Summary:
A common mistake that I have found in our codebase is calling a function to get an integer or enum that represents the type such as:
```
int numBytes = numElements * sizeof(x.GetType());
```
So this extends the `sizeof` check to check for these cases. There is also a `WarnOnSizeOfCall` option so it can be disabled.
