[LifetimeSafety] Add parameter lifetime tracking in CFG (#169320)

This PR enhances the CFG builder to properly handle function parameters
in lifetime analysis:

1. Added code to include parameters in the initial scope during CFG
construction for both `FunctionDecl` and `BlockDecl` types
2. Added a special case to skip reference parameters, as they don't need
automatic destruction
3. Fixed several test cases that were previously marked as "FIXME" due
to missing parameter lifetime tracking

Previously, Clang's lifetime analysis was not properly tracking the
lifetime of function parameters, causing it to miss important
use-after-return bugs when parameter values were returned by reference
or address. This change ensures that parameters are properly tracked in
the CFG, allowing the analyzer to correctly identify when stack memory
associated with parameters is returned.

Fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/169014
