Add ability to pass in a clang-tidy config file to clang-tidy-diff

[cjappl]

I found this handy for situations where you want to pass in a config file and not rely on a default .clang-tidy file.

The new option is -config and will expect something that can be passed into the --config-file= parameter of clang-tidy

This is almost exactly the same as #75457 , just with the release notes. I'm going to close this for now and re-open it if that one gets stale.
