Ah and even that will not fully work, because there is no entry for
tree_nocb.h in compile_commands.json to begin with :-(. However, that
also can be fixed. Here's how:

We can just add metadata to tree_nocb.h , something like:
/* clangd_infer_from: tree.c */

Then we make scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py  duplicate
the compile command JSON entry for tree.c but for tree_nocb.h.

Lastly, we add -DDCLANGD_PARSER_ACTIVE to all entries (including the duplicate).
