[PATCH] D17807: [clang-tidy] Add "clang-tidy as a clang plugin" skeleton.

[Benjamin Kramer via cfe-commits]

In theory yes, in practice that needs a bit of build system tweaking
to either build clang-tidy into clang or as a shared library. Then it
can be used like any regular Clang plugin.

It will also slow down clang significantly, but I consider that a bug ;)
