I've used `libear` to generate `compile_commands.json`, but the generated JSON does not contain the `command` field, which causes `@require` before `run` to die (also, due to the passing style this error was unnecessarily difficult to debug).

Basically this patch does not change the way scan-build-py is working. So you can either create a compile_commands.json using intercept-build and than use analyze-build to use the result. Or you can do the two together using scan-build. We only offer the CTU functionality in analyze-build, because CTU needs multiple runs anyway, so on the spot build action capture and analyze is not possible with CTU. The general usage of scan-build-py is written in clang/tools/scan-build-py/README.md
