Subject: [PATCH 1/5] [clang-tidy] Prevent false-positive in presence of
 derived-to-base cast in bugprone.use-after-move

The following scenario is quite common, but was reported as a
use-after-move:

struct Base {
  Base(Base&&);
};

struct C : Base {
    int field;
    C(C&& c) :
      Base(std::move(c)),  // only moves through the base type
      field(c.field) // << this is a valid use-after-move
      {}
};

Fix this by checking field origin when the moved value is immediately
cast to base.
