Clang-Format, Clang-Tidy - Absolute Path to config files

[Typz via cfe-commits]

Hello,

I worked on adding a similar feature some time back :
https://reviews.llvm.org/D50147
It supports specifying styles by absolute file name as well as lookup of a
style by name in various locations (like ~/.local/share/clang-format or
/usr/share/clang-format), allowing to install styles on the machine and use
them similarly to "integrated" styles : e.g. reference them in BasedOnStyle
tag or specify them via the --style parameter...

Unfortunately there was no consensus on this approach, and I did not get
the time yet to finalize something that could be integrated. But as long as
you are ready to recompile clang-format, it should work fine.
Best regards,
