Summary:
This ties to an LSP feature (diagnostic versioning) but really a lot
of the value is in being able to log what's happening with file versions
and queues more descriptively and clearly.
As such it's fairly invasive, for a logging patch :-\
Key decisions:
- at the LSP layer, we don't reqire the client to provide versions (LSP
makes it mandatory but we never enforced it). If not provided,
versions start at 0 and increment. DraftStore handles this.
- don't propagate magically using contexts, but rather manually:
addDocument -> ParseInputs -> (ParsedAST, Preamble, various callbacks)
Context-propagation would hide the versions from ClangdServer, which
would make producing good log messages hard
- within ClangdServer, treat versions as opaque and unordered.
std::string is a convenient type for this, and allows richer versions
for embedders. They're "mandatory" but "null" is a reasonable default.
