Packaging clangd with GRPC support

[Sylvestre Ledru]

Hello

I pushed your change, I will test it a bit and upload it in Debian once
it is ok!

The workaround when packages aren't available is to use the " | hello "
trick. The resolver will pick "hello" as package instead of failing on
the unavailable package

I have an ugly script to quickly verify all the options of clang & co

https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-llvm-team/llvm-toolchain/-/blob/12/debian/qualify-clang.sh

clangd is tested

https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-llvm-team/llvm-toolchain/-/blob/12/debian/qualify-clang.sh#L119

is there a way to do the same with GRPC support?

I am also testing clangd in

https://github.com/opencollab/llvm-toolchain-integration-test-suite/blob/main/tests/test_clangd.txt

Cheers,

S
