[clangd-dev] Specifying format style using command line option

[Sam McCall via clangd-dev]

Hi Dovod,
Sorry for the late reply!
I replied in more detail in https://github.com/clangd/clangd/issues/26, but
the short version:
 - I think this is better controlled at the editor level.
 - are you using VSCode? You can use the "editor.formatOnType" setting to
govern this.
 - this can be set for certain filetypes only:
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/settings#_language-specific-editor-settings
 - I'm working on improving our format-on-type implementation to be less
surprising, and would welcome feedback: https://reviews.llvm.org/D60605
Cheers, Sam
