Looks for local `Twine` variables which are prone to use after frees and should be generally avoided.

    static Twine Moo = Twine("bark") + "bah";

    // becomes

    static std::string Moo = (Twine("bark") + "bah").str();

The `Twine` does not own the memory of its contents, so it is not recommended to use `Twine` created from temporary strings or string literals.

    static Twine getModuleIdentifier(StringRef moduleName) {
      return moduleName + "_module";
    }
    void foo() {
      Twine result = getModuleIdentifier(std::string{"abc"} + "def");
      // temporary std::string is destroyed here, result is dangling
    }

After applying this fix-it hints, the code will use `std::string` instead of `Twine` for local variables. However, `Twine` has lots of methods that are incompatible with `std::string`, so the user may need to adjust the code manually after applying the fix-it hints.
