[PATCH] D75184: [clang-tidy] Optional inheritance of file configs from parent directories

[Nathan James via Phabricator via cfe-commits]

As an afterthought, Would you think it a good idea to extend this logic to the `ConfigOptionsProvider` That way you can use something along the lines of:

  clang-tidy --config='{InheritParentConfig: true, CheckOptions: [<Options overriding/complimenting .clang-tidy files>]}'

clang-tidy would then go to read the .clang-tidy configuration files in much the same was as is done here. This would let you set custom configuration options on the command line on top of whats in configuration files.
Obviously is `InheritParentConfig` is unset or `false` then we wouldn't go looking for .clang-tidy files.
