Yep, it's a breaking change. The purpose of this patch is mostly to show how it would look like and see if that would be the desired result. There's 2 aspects of it:

- Rename of `HeaderFilterRegex` to `HeaderFilter`, to be consistent with `--header-filter`. If this is too much breakage, I'm OK with reverting.
- Replace regex with globs. Won't break the use of `.*`. It will break for the use case of having a parent `.clang-tidy` with `.*` and a child `.clang-tidy` with `my_folder/*\.h`. I personally always found the current interface confusing as a user. What regex should I write? Should I consider full paths, relative paths, does it matter?

I suppose I can keep the exact same behavior as master, but that will add additional tweaks and complexity to the `GlobList` class.
