Follow-up to #535 for v2 GA (#514). The migration guide covers CLI changes but not how users move their install. This adds an "Installing v2" section:

• PyPI name and the cpp-linter command stay the same, so pip install --upgrade cpp-linter moves to v2 after GA; pip install "cpp-linter<2" stays on v1.
• Other channels (cargo, pre-built binary, npm) point to the Quick start section instead of repeating the commands.
• cpp-linter-action v2 keeps using cpp-linter v1.
• Python API: v1 exposed its internal modules; v2 only has cpp_linter.main(). It takes an optional sys.argv-like list (first item is the program name, as Cli::parse_from expects) and raises OSError on failure.

Checked with mkdocs build (the index.md#quick-start link resolves) and cspell.

Walkthrough

The migration guide now links to Quick start and documents v1-to-v2 compatibility, v2 installation and version pinning, cpp-linter-action v2’s use of v1, and the reduced Python API.

Changes: Migration guide

Layer / File(s)	Summary
v2 migration guidance docs/docs/migration.md	The introduction describes compatibility between v1 and v2. New guidance covers installation options, version pinning, cpp-linter-action v2’s continued use of v1, and the Python API available in v2.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: Low · up to 8e793

The migration guide slightly overstates how main() reports failures: invalid arguments or --help exit the Python process rather than raising OSError. This is a small documentation fix and is not a code risk.

Explanation

The title "docs: cover installing v2 and the Python API in the migration guide" matches the main change. The raw summary and objectives say the PR adds an "Installing v2" section and Python API guidance to the migration guide, and the diff is limited to docs/docs/migration.md (+32/-0). The title is concise, uses a conventional docs: prefix, and names the primary change. It does not cover every detail, such as the cpp-linter-action note, but that is expected.

- Line 53: Update the `main()` description to clarify that it raises an
`OSError` only when cpp-linter returns an error after argument parsing; document
that invalid arguments and `--help` terminate the Python process before
`run_main` returns.

Hoping we can change this later when #380 is addressed. 🤞🏼

I've always considered app behavior more important than our API.
