It is unfortunate that clang format does not have a way for old
versions to parse new .clang-format files.

Perhaps the best course is to get that ability and then go ahead and
bump the min required version to there.. Otherwise this is a never
ending upgrade treadmill.

ie if clang-format would look for a .clang-format.VERSION first and
then try for the generic we could at least have a (somewhat painful)
path.. Or if it would run it through cpp first we could use
#ifdef/etc.
