Parent of the source file seems rather inconvenient most of the time. Even when reading the contents of `compile_flags.txt` one would have to consider it the contexts of every source file.

I'm looking at CompilationDatabase.cpp:321 <https://reviews.llvm.org/diffusion/L/browse/cfe/trunk/lib/Tooling/CompilationDatabase.cpp;317699$321> and don't see the `CompileCommand::Directory` being set at all. Maybe I'm missing something.

A few ideas for tests:

1. Test relative include paths (`-Irelpath/to/include`) work.
2. What happens if both `compile_commands.json` and `compile_flags.txt` are present? Should we test and document it? I'd expect the first one to take priority and the second one to come into play only if the input file is not found in the first one.
