Subject: [PATCH] add clang-format pre-commit hook (#4599)

* Add a new YAML file (.pre-commit-config.yaml) to set up pre-commit
  hook for clang-format
  * The pre-commit hook is opt-in and needs to be installed in order to
    run automatically
* Update CONTRIBUTING.md with instructions on how to set up and use the
  clang-format linter

Automating the process of running clang-format before committing code
helps to save time by removing the need to fix formatting issues later.

This is a tooling improvement and doesn't change C++ code.
