If -no-canonical-prefixes isn't used, the clang executable name used
is the one of the actual executable, not the name of the symlink that
the user invoked.
In these cases, the target prefix was overridden based on the clang
executable name. (On the other hand the implicit -target option
that such a symlink adds, is added as an actual command line parameter
in tools/driver/driver.cop, before resolving the symlink and finding
the actual clang executable.
Use the original ClangNameParts (set from argv[0] in
tools/driver/driver.cpp) if it seems to be initialized propery.
All existing tests of this feature used -no-canonical-prefixes
(possibly because it also makes the driver look in the directory
of the symlink instead of the directory of the executable); add
another one that uses --config-user-dir= to specify the directory
instead. (For actual users of such symlinks, outisde of the test
suite, the directory is probably the same for both.)
This makes this feature work more like what the documentation
describes.

Clang is inherently a cross compiler and can generate code for any target
enabled during build. It however requires to specify many parameters in the
invocation, which could be hardcoded during configuration process in the
case of single-target compiler. The purpose of configuration files is to
make specifying clang arguments easier.
A configuration file is a collection of driver options, which are inserted
into command line before other options specified in the clang invocation.
It groups related options together and allows specifying them in simpler,
more flexible and less error prone way than just listing the options
somewhere in build scripts. Configuration file may be thought as a "macro"
that names an option set and is expanded when the driver is called.
Use of configuration files is described in `UserManual.rst`.
