Summary:
This checker is able to detect missing comma in
an array of string literals.

```
  const char* A[] = {
    "abc",
    "def"   // missing comma (no compiler warnings)
    "ghi",
  };
```

The ratio of false-positive is reduced by restricting the
size of the array considered and the ratio of missing
comma.

To validate the quantity of false positive, the checker
was tried over LLVM and chromium code and detected these
cases:

+misc-suspicious-missing-comma
+=============================
+
+String literals placed side-by-side are concatenated at translation phase 6
+(after the preprocessor). This feature is used to represent long string
+literal on multiple lines.
+
+For instance, these declarations are equivalent:
+  const char* A[] = "This is a test";
+  const char* B[] = "This" " is a "
+                    "test";
+
+A common mistake done by programmers is to forget a comma between two string
+literals in an array initializer list.
+
+  const char* Test[] = {
+    "line 1",
+    "line 2"     // Missing comma!
+    "line 3",
+    "line 4",
+    "line 5"
+  };
+
+The array contains the string "line 2line3" at offset 1 (i.e. Test[1]). Clang
+won't generate warnings at compile time.
+
+This checker may warn incorrectly on cases like:
+
+  const char* SupportedFormat[] = {
+    "Error %s",
+    "Code " PRIu64,   // May warn here.
+    "Warning %s",
+  };
