[clangd] support the zig c++ compiler wrapper

[mrexodia]

When using zig c++ for cross-compiling clangd removes the zig command (c++/cc) from the command line. Because of this the system include extraction fails. This change detects that the driver executable is named zig and adds cc or c++ back into the command line.

I don't think there is infrastructure to test this (since it would involve executing the zig executable), so I did not add any tests. Screenshot of the feature working on Visual Studio Code on Windows:

Trivial example project that sets up the cross compilation with CMake and generates compile_commands.json: https://github.com/mrexodia/zig-cross. You also need to use --query-driver=**/zig.exe.

This is a simple and nice change. Improving the developer experience and having things "just work" is always good.
