[clang-tidy] Fix broken HeaderFilterRegex when read from config file (#133582)
PR https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/91400 broke the usage of
HeaderFilterRegex via config file, because it is now created at a
different point in the execution and leads to a different value.

The result of that is that using HeaderFilterRegex only in the config
file does NOT work, in other words clang-tidy stops triggering warnings
on header files, thereby losing a lot of coverage.

This patch reverts the logic so that the header filter is created upon
calling the getHeaderFilter() function.

Additionally, this patch adds 2 unit tests to prevent regressions in the
future:

- One of them, "simple", tests the most basic use case with a single
top-level .clang-tidy file.

- The second one, "inheritance", demonstrates that the subfolder only
gets warnings from headers within it, and not from parent headers.

Fixes #118009
Fixes #121969
Fixes #133453
