1620403 - Could `clang-format` run as part of `mach lint`?

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1466070

(( Not quite entirely unrelated to bug 1514279 ))

I generally remember to lint things locally but often forget clang-format. This is probably because I'm just a bad person. Unfortunately I'm not likely to become a better person as quickly as tooling can improve, so I'm asking here:

Could clang-format become part of mach lint? That way I'll only have one thing I need to remember.

Yeah, we should probably to that with clang-format-10.
It adds a new option (--dry-run) to do it

This could also be duped to bug 1511122.

Though there's certainly precedent of masquerading formatters as linters in mach lint, so it can go either way.
