llvm#137286)

…dy.py

Currently, run_clang_tidy.py does not correctly display the list of
checks picked up from the top-level .clang-tidy file. The reason for
that is that we are passing an empty string as input file.

However, that's not how we are supposed to use clang-tidy to list
checks. Per
llvm@65eccb4,
we simply should not pass any file at all - the internal code of
clang-tidy will pass a "dummy" file if that's the case and get the
.clang-tidy file from the current working directory.

Fixes llvm#136659
