https://github.com/ideasman42 created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/104533

Add a minor mode to run clang-format on save.

Formatting before saving works well and is convenient to avoid having to remember to manually run clang format.

I've written this as it's own package but it's probably better if the functionality is supported by clang-format.el.
See: https://github.com/melpa/melpa/pull/8762
