This PR add diagnostics for 3-parameter std::basic_string(const char* t, size_type pos, size_type count) constructor in bugprone-string-constructor check:

  std::string r1("test", 1, 0); // constructor creating an empty string
  std::string r2("test", 0, -4); // negative value used as length parameter
  // more examples in test file

Fixes false-positives reported in #123198.

@HerrCai0907, sorry to bother you, but can you help merge this pr if it is okay to have only one review (from you).
I can keep pinging others but don't understand how many people need to watch it.
I saw other pull requests were merged with some reviewers still being in "awaiting" status.

@vbvictor Congratulations on having your first Pull Request (PR) merged into the LLVM Project!

Your changes will be combined with recent changes from other authors, then tested by our build bots. If there is a problem with a build, you may receive a report in an email or a comment on this PR.

Please check whether problems have been caused by your change specifically, as the builds can include changes from many authors. It is not uncommon for your change to be included in a build that fails due to someone else's changes, or infrastructure issues.

How to do this, and the rest of the post-merge process, is covered in detail here.

If your change does cause a problem, it may be reverted, or you can revert it yourself. This is a normal part of LLVM development. You can fix your changes and open a new PR to merge them again.

If you don't get any reports, no action is required from you. Your changes are working as expected, well done!
