Description
Hello,
I am trying to find out if I can build the index daily on CI machines. And our code uses `-vfsoverlay` in order to emulate some header maps and Darwin framework structure for `clangd` and `clang-tidy`. But, it doesn't seem to work with `clangd-indexer`. The `compile_commands.json` already contains `--vfsoverlay` flag and the command itself compiles well.
Do I supply the `--vfsoverlay` differently similar to `clang-tidy`?
I guess, I have a question related to this somehow: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/159843
Seems like, it's coming to more interesting question: Do we support VFS cohesively across LLVM tools? Or we better not to use it at all?
Thank you.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the clangd-indexer invocation with the existing compile_commands.json and its --vfsoverlay flag. Compare how clangd-indexer and clang-tidy handle VFS overlays, then use the related LLVM issue for context. Done means the supported invocation or an implementation gap is clearly established and documented or addressed.
