[clang-tidy] add OverrideMacro to modernize-use-override check
Summary: The usefulness of **modernize-use-override** can be reduced if you have to live in an environment where you support multiple compilers, some of which sadly are not yet fully C++11 compliant some codebases have to use override as a macro OVERRIDE e.g. ``` // GCC 4.7 supports explicit virtual overrides when C++11 support is enabled. ``` This allows code to be compiled with C++11 compliant compilers and get warnings and errors that clang, MSVC,gcc can give, while still allowing other legacy pre C++11 compilers to compile the code. This can be an important step towards modernizing C++ code whilst living in a legacy codebase. When it comes to clang tidy, the use of the **modernize-use-override** is one of the most useful checks, but the messages reported are inaccurate for that codebase if the standard approach is to use the macros OVERRIDE and/or FINAL. When combined with fix-its that introduce the C++11 override keyword, they become fatal, resulting in the modernize-use-override check being turned off to prevent the introduction of such errors. This revision, allows the possibility for the replacement **override **to be a macro instead, Allowing the clang-tidy check to be run on both pre and post C++11 code, and allowing fix-its to be applied.
