    build: add compile_commands.json target
    
    Add a convenience target generating the compilation database from a
    built object tree, alongside the other developer conveniences (tags,
    cscope, cloc -- the last of which already walks the same .cmd files):
    
        make -C xen compile_commands.json
    
    The output lands in the object tree root.  For an in-tree build,
    clangd and other consumers discover it there automatically when
    opening files; for an out-of-tree build, symlink it into the source
    tree root (consumers search the ancestors of the file being edited).
    
    Note the database records the compiler invocations actually used.
    With a clang build it is consumable by clangd as-is; for a gcc build,
    clang-based tools may need a small .clangd configuration
    (CompileFlags: Remove/Add) dropping gcc-only flags.
    
    Also add the generated file to .gitignore.
