clang-tidy provides a number of checks that are applicable to chromium code (mostly the modernize-* and google-* ones). We should run the reliable and uncontroversial ones to improve the codebase.
Note: infrastructure to run these automatically is out of scope. See Issue 403854. Even though we can't catch regressions automatically, it's still valuable to run these once-off. Improved consistency will reduce the rate of regressions, and regressions are usually not correctness problems.
