[clang-tidy]avoid bugprone-unused-return-value false positive for assignment operator overloading

Fixes: #84480
We assuem assignemnt at most of time, operator overloading means the value is assigned to the other variable, then clang-tidy should suppress warning even if this operator overloading match the regex.
