Subject: [PATCH 1/3] [clangd] Add `BuiltinHeaders` flag to Config file

Usage:

```
CompileFlags:
  BuiltinHeaders: QueryDriver
```

The two supported options are `QueryDriver` and `Clangd`. This Controls
whether Clangd should include its own built-in headers (like stddef.h),
or use only QueryDriver's built-in headers. Use the option value
'Clangd' (default) to use Clangd's headers, and use 'QueryDriver'
to indicate QueryDriver's headers.
