Description

### Package name

cppcheck

### Package homepage

https://github.com/danmar/cppcheck

### Languages

cpp

### How is this package distributed?

It seems that we have to build this from source... (For Windows there's an msi on the release page.)

```bash
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/danmar/cppcheck/tree/x.y
cd cppcheck
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build .
cmake --install -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/mason/packages .
```

Research direction

Start by reviewing how existing Mason packages are defined and installed, then compare their source-build conventions with the cppcheck homepage and the CMake commands in this issue. Done means cppcheck is integrated as an installable Mason package and the source build completes with the package installation prefix.
