compile_commands.json (a.k.a. "compdb",
https://clang.llvm.org/docs/JSONCompilationDatabase.html) is intended
to help stand-alone C-family LSP servers index the codebase as
precisely as possible.
The actively maintained LSP servers with good C++ support are:
- Clangd (https://clangd.llvm.org/)
- CCLS (https://github.com/MaskRay/ccls)
This change causes a successful invocation of configure.py to create a
unified Scylla+Seastar+Abseil compdb for every selected build mode,
and to leave a valid symlink in the source root (if a valid symlink
already exists, it will be left alone).
