[clang-tidy][#51939] Exempt placement-new expressions from 'bugprone-throw-keyword...

The purpose of this checker is to flag a missing throw keyword, and does so by checking for the construction of an exception class that is then unused.
This works great except that placement new expressions are also flagged as those lead to the construction of an object as well, even though they are not temporary (as that is dependent on the storage).
This patch fixes the issue by exempting the match if it is within a placement-new.
