I believe clangd is the right tool, as the choice to use clangd or not is made by individual developers rather than project maintainers. Every git controlled C++ project would potentially have to include this directory to their gitignore. I only thought of this after seeing how the meson build system behaves. A user can give any name to their build directory, so they add a gitignore to ignore it automatically. Users that don't want this behavior can simply remove the gitignore file, and it won't get recreated. The same behavior is present (and tested) with this change as well. Lastly, this also has the benefit of only ignoring `.cache/clangd/index/*`, and it'll also stay up to date if the directory path/structure changes.
