check-webkit-style: warn about WTF::BlockPtr use in JavaScriptCore until ARC is enabled.

This is to catch bugs like this from occurring before code is committed:

    Bug 220956: Crash when remote inspecting in debug builds

This issue was introduced when WTF was converted to ARC since WTF::BlockPtr existed at that time:

    Bug 186961: [Cocoa] Convert the small bit of Objective-C++ code in WTF to ARC
    <https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=186961>

Or rather, it became possible for this issue to exist once this happened, but we only know of one bug (Bug 220956) that was actually caused by this.

Test failures are not related to this patch (missing results, or these *.xml files should be skipped since they're not tests.

Made the regex check for "BlockPtr<" a little more robust.

The webkitpy failure is unrelated to this change (I think this Python test is flaky):

[41/1961] webkitcorepy.tests.task_pool_unittest.TaskPoolUnittest.test_invalid_shutdown failed:
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/Volumes/Data/worker/WebKitPy-Tests-EWS/build/Tools/Scripts/libraries/webkitcorepy/webkitcorepy/tests/task_pool_unittest.py", line 136, in test_invalid_shutdown
