super-linter does not support C++

Describe the solution you'd like

Use super-linter to lint C++ code

Describe alternatives you've considered

Running clang-tidy and clazy yourself through custom run steps

[michaelvlach]

Few notes about using clang-tidy (that I fully support):

• One requirement of the clang-tidy is that it needs compilation database (to work out all the includes). Therefore C++ super-linter might require a bit more setting up than for other languages.
• The code must be actually compilable with Clang. That is often not the case if the given source code targets for example only Windows and use MSVC only.
• Coming up with sensible defualt .clang-tidy will be a challenge but it might also be a requirement for setting C++ super-linter up to have it. The default however would be useful and make it more easy and accessible.

An alternative to clang-tidy might be cppcheck, but that comes with its own parser (not very good one, lack of tempalte support etc.) and much smaller scope of checks than clang-tidy.

Please add support for Cppcheck as well

This would help a great deal for MS projects like Windows Terminal. You'd think this would get some kind of feedback from a maintainer.
