format_string_diagnostic_t's ctor, giving information for use by
  the emit_warning* member functions, as follows:

  They attempt to obtain precise location information within a string
  literal from FMT_LOC.

  Case 1: if substring location is available, and is within the range of
  the format string itself, the primary location of the
  diagnostic is the substring range obtained from FMT_LOC, with the
  caret at the *end* of the substring range.

  For example:

    test.c:90:10: warning: problem with '%i' here [-Wformat=]
    printf ("hello %i", msg);
                   ~^

  Case 2: if the substring location is available, but is not within
  the range of the format string, the primary location is that of the
  format string, and a note is emitted showing the substring location.

  For example:
    test.c:90:10: warning: problem with '%i' here [-Wformat=]
    printf("hello " INT_FMT " world", msg);
           ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    test.c:19: note: format string is defined here
    #define INT_FMT "%i"
                     ~^

  Case 3: if precise substring information is unavailable, the primary
  location is that of the whole string passed to FMT_LOC's constructor.
  For example:

    test.c:90:10: warning: problem with '%i' here [-Wformat=]
    printf(fmt, msg);
           ^~~

  For each of cases 1-3, if param_loc is not UNKNOWN_LOCATION, then it is used
  as a secondary range within the warning.  For example, here it
  is used with case 1:

    test.c:90:16: warning: '%s' here but arg 2 has 'long' type [-Wformat=]
    printf ("foo %s bar", long_i + long_j);
                 ~^       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  and here with case 2:

    test.c:90:16: warning: '%s' here but arg 2 has 'long' type [-Wformat=]
    printf ("foo " STR_FMT " bar", long_i + long_j);
            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    test.c:89:16: note: format string is defined here
    #define STR_FMT "%s"
                     ~^

  and with case 3:

    test.c:90:10: warning: '%i' here, but arg 2 is "const char *' [-Wformat=]
    printf(fmt, msg);
           ^~~  ~~~

  If non-NULL, then FMT_LABEL will be used to label the location within the
  string for cases 1 and 2; if non-NULL, then PARAM_LABEL will be used to label
  the parameter.  For example with case 1:

   test.c:90:16: warning: '%s' here but arg 2 has 'long' type [-Wformat=]
    printf ("foo %s bar", long_i + long_j);
                 ~^       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                                 |
                                 int

  and with case 2:

    test.c:90:10: warning: problem with '%i' here [-Wformat=]
    printf("hello " INT_FMT " world", msg);
           ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    test.c:19: note: format string is defined here
    #define INT_FMT "%i"
                     ~^
                      |
                      int

  If CORRECTED_SUBSTRING is non-NULL, use it for cases 1 and 2 to provide
  a fix-it hint, suggesting that it should replace the text within the
  substring range.  For example:

    test.c:90:10: warning: problem with '%i' here [-Wformat=]
    printf ("hello %i", msg);
                   ~^
                   %s
