Clang-tidy has been used as a library since its appearance. But this was
done outside the official source tree. If there's interest in using it from
clangd, but something is missing in the appropriate CMake configs, we
should fix them. However, it looks
like tools/extra/clang-tidy/CMakeLists.txt already defines
`add_clang_library(clangTidy ...`, which should be enough?
