[clangd] Add a (currently hidden) --strong-workspace-mode flag (#155905)

Its current effect is to use the `rootUri` provided by the client as the
working directory for fallback commands.

Future effects will include other behaviors appropriate for cases
where clangd is being run in the context of editing a single
workspace, such as using the `compile_commands.json` file in the
workspace root for all opened files.

The flag is hidden until other behaviors are implemented and they
constitute a cohesive "mode" for users.
