It's a bit confusing that running Polonius on some Rust code that you know has a borrow error doesn't seem to actually do anything - it gives the impression that no analysis is performed by default.

This changes the behaviour to print error tuples by default if any are found, for a better experience. The old behaviour can be re-enabled by using --no-show-tuples to suppress tuple output even if errors are present.

Of course, analysis *is* performed by default, but errors aren't
reported unless you opt in (which begs the question of what exactly the
tool is meant to be doing when you run it!)

using `--no-show-tuples` to suppress tuple output even if errors are
present.
