95b464fb8b ClangPlugins: Check for GC pointers in non-Cell substruct members
This extends the LibJSGC Clang plugin to detect GC pointers (GC::Ptr,
GC::Ref, JS::Value, etc.) inside non-GC-allocated struct/class members.

When a GC::Cell has a member of a non-Cell type that contains GC
pointers, we now enforce that:

1. The non-Cell type must have a visit_edges(GC::Cell::Visitor&) method
2. The Cell's visit_edges must access that member (presumably to call
   its visit_edges)

The check works recursively, so nested structs and containers like
Vector<GC::Ptr<T>> or HashMap<K, GC::Ptr<V>> are handled correctly.

GC infrastructure types (Root, Heap, etc.) and AK library types are
excluded from these checks as they handle visitation differently.
