This is an alternative to JSONCompilationDatabase for simple projects that
don't use a build system such as CMake.
(You can also drop one in ~, to make your tools use e.g. C++11 by default)
There's no facility for varying flags per-source-file or per-machine.
Possibly this could be accommodated backwards-compatibly using cpp, but even if
not the simplicity seems worthwhile for the cases that are addressed.
Tested with clangd, works great! (requires clangd restart)
