[clang-tidy] false positive narrowing conversion

Let's consider the following code from the issue #139467:

void test(int cond, char c) {
    char ret = cond > 0 ? ':' : c;
}

Initializer of 'ret' looks the following:

-ImplicitCastExpr 'char' <IntegralCast>
 `-ConditionalOperator 'int'
   |-BinaryOperator 'int' '>'
   | |-ImplicitCastExpr 'int' <LValueToRValue>
   | | `-DeclRefExpr 'int' lvalue ParmVar 'cond' 'int'
   | `-IntegerLiteral 'int' 0
   |-CharacterLiteral 'int' 58
   `-ImplicitCastExpr 'int' <IntegralCast>
     `-ImplicitCastExpr 'char' <LValueToRValue>
       `-DeclRefExpr 'char' lvalue ParmVar 'c' 'char'

So it could be seen that 'RHS' of the conditional operator is
DeclRefExpr 'c' which is casted to 'int' and then the whole conditional expression is casted to 'char'.
But this last conversion is not narrowing, because 'RHS' was 'char' _initially_.
We should just remove the cast from 'char' to 'int' before the narrowing conversion check.
