Restore detection of enabled dry-run forms.
--dry-run=true, --dry-run=1, and -dry-run no longer trigger --Werror. An unformatted file can therefore pass the hook. Restore value-aware detection and the single-dash spelling.

Review comment at @cpp_linter_hooks/clang_format.py at line 41:
The dry-run check in the hook misses supported spellings, allowing unformatted
files to pass without --Werror. Update the detection in the `other_args` check
to recognize enabled `--dry-run` values such as `true` and `1`, as well as the
`-dry-run` spelling, while preserving detection of the existing `-n` and
`--dry-run` forms.

Check boolean values before suppressing -fix.
When the hook’s --fix is set, names treats -fix-notes=false and -fix-errors=false as enabled options. If either is the only fix option, the hook omits -fix and clang-tidy applies no fixes. Count only enabled boolean values.

Review comment at @cpp_linter_hooks/clang_tidy.py at line 725:
Update the `hook_args.fix` check so it suppresses adding `-fix` only when
`clang_tidy_args` contains an enabled `fix`, `fix-errors`, or `fix-notes`
option. Treat bare options and values representing true as enabled, and values
such as false as disabled.

Protect response-file-like filenames too.
An existing source file named @evil.cpp passes through unchanged. LLVM can interpret it as a response file and read options from evil.cpp instead. For clang-tidy, those options can include --load, which can load attacker-controlled code. Prefix source filenames beginning with @ as well. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Review comment at @cpp_linter_hooks/util.py at line 28:
Update the argument handling condition so existing source filenames beginning
with either “-” or “@” are prefixed before being passed to LLVM tools,
preserving the current file check and behavior for other arguments.
