doc: formalize non-const reference usage in C++ style guide

Rodrigo Muino Tomonari requested to merge github/fork/addaleax/cpp-style-guide-no-non-const-references into master

Split out from #23028 by request from @refack. I’ve added people who approved the other PR as reviewers on the commit. I’m also moving the tsc-agenda label over here, assuming @refack’s objection stands.

We generally avoid using non-const references if not necessary. This formalizes this rules by writing them down in the C++ style guide.
