Subject: [PATCH] [clang-tidy] Skip declarations in system headers in
 RenamerClangTidyCheck

One typically only wants to perform renaming operations in user code,
not in system headers (which are out of the user's control).
Let's skip those altogether.

This leads to performance improvements in clang-tidy. As a benchmark,
I run all checks on a .cpp file that #includes all C++ standard
headers.

On trunk:

Suppressed 213362 warnings (213362 in non-user code).
Use -header-filter=.* to display errors from all non-system headers. Use -system-headers to display errors from system headers as well.

On this patch:

Suppressed 75107 warnings (75107 in non-user code).
