Subject: [PATCH] [clang-tidy] Fix false positive in misc-redundant-expression
 with type aliases

The `misc-redundant-expression` check previously flagged expressions as 
redundant
if their underlying `DeclRefExpr` pointed to the same declaration. This caused
false positives when comparing identical values accessed through distinct type
aliases.

Following Clang's diagnostic `aka` logic, this patch uses the AST Printer
to stringify and compare the `NestedNameSpecifier` and `TemplateArguments`.
This safely preserves sugared types while natively normalizing all whitespaces
and newlines, ensuring robustness against multiline formatting changes.

Fixes #145415
