Auto migrate hashicorp to ibm (#189)

* Add automatic HashiCorp to IBM copyright holder migration

- Adds updateLicenseHolder() function to auto-detect and replace HashiCorp copyright holders
- Detects 'HashiCorp, Inc.', 'HashiCorp Inc', and 'HashiCorp' patterns
- Works with all comment styles (Go, Python, Shell, C-style, HTML)
- Preserves existing year information and updates to current format
- Modifies processFile() to attempt holder update for files with existing licenses
- Adds comprehensive test coverage with 14 test cases
- Updates README with automatic migration feature documentation

This feature ensures old HashiCorp headers are automatically caught and updated,
preventing regressions from old PRs or copied code.

* Display files being updated regardless of verbose flag

- Remove verbose flag check so files are always displayed during updates
- Show '(copyright holder updated)' when HashiCorp->IBM migration happens
- Show '(license header added)' when new headers are added
- Improves visibility in both --plan and regular mode

* Fix golangci-lint issues

- Add error check for os.Remove in test to satisfy errcheck linter
- Remove ineffectual assignment to modified variable

* Fix --plan flag to show copyright holder updates and update config

- Add wouldUpdateLicenseHolder() function for dry-run detection of copyright holder changes
- Modify processFile() to check for potential holder updates in checkonly/plan mode
- Add test coverage for wouldUpdateLicenseHolder() function
- Now --plan flag shows both missing headers and files that would have copyright holders updated from HashiCorp to IBM
- Fix golangci-lint issues (errcheck and ineffassign)
- Update .copywrite.hcl copyright_year configuration
- Tested: reduced false positives from 29 to 5 files, correctly shows holder updates

* Fix remaining golangci-lint errcheck issue

- Add error check for tmpfile.Close() in TestWouldUpdateLicenseHolder

* Fix 'is a directory' error in copyright holder migration

- Add isDirectory helper function to check for directories and symlinks to directories
- Use helper in updateLicenseHolder and wouldUpdateLicenseHolder functions
- Resolves issue where filepath.Walk's fi.IsDir() misses symlinks to directories
- Fixes error: 'read path: is a directory' reported in PR feedback

This prevents crashes when processing repositories with symbolic links
that point to directories, such as version directories in test fixtures.

* Add comprehensive test cases for directory skipping bug fix

- Add TestIsDirectory to test helper function for detecting directories and symlinks
- Add TestUpdateLicenseHolderSkipsDirectories to verify updateLicenseHolder skips directories
- Add TestWouldUpdateLicenseHolderSkipsDirectories to verify wouldUpdateLicenseHolder skips directories
- Add TestDirectorySkippingRegressionTest as integration test for the original crash scenario
- Tests cover symlinks to directories which was the root cause of 'is a directory' error
- Ensures the fix in commit 0a3f20d remains stable and prevents future regressions

* Fix golangci-lint errcheck issue in test

Check error return value from tmpfile.Close() in TestIsDirectory to satisfy errcheck linter.

+### Automatic Copyright Holder Migration
+
+The `copywrite headers` command automatically detects and updates old copyright
+holders (such as "HashiCorp, Inc.") to the configured holder (default: "IBM Corp.")
+while preserving existing year information and updating year ranges.
+
+This ensures that:
+
+- Old headers from merged PRs are automatically corrected
+- Manually copied headers are updated
+- Year ranges are kept current
+
+No additional flags are needed - the migration happens automatically as part of
+the normal headers command execution.
+
 To get started with Copywrite on a new project, run `copywrite init`, which will
 interactively help generate a `.copywrite.hcl` config file to add to Git.
