`llvm::sys::path::cache_directory` exists, it doesn't do anything special on Darwin (though would be the right place), but it does handle windows.

I'm not sure what the original motivation for `org.llvm.clang.$USER` format was, but it doesn't seem to be worth carrying over vs $CONFIG/clang/ to me - clang is well-known enough to "own" the name and most tools don't seem to add reverse-domains to these paths.
