As Haojian says, this is a lot of churn.
I don't think the benefit of pushing people to migrate, even with a grace period, is clear.

Additionally it's *possible* that future refactorings may mean we want to run additional "framework" logic when the MatchFinder calls us, and so requiring `ClangTidy::check` and `MatchCallback::run` to be the same function seems a little risky.

I'll add a comment explaining why the two functions exist.
