Description

The current workaround is to add --config-file=<path> to C_Cpp.codeAnalysis.clangTidy.args. See the previous issue at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cpptools/issues/9981 (variable expansion won't work till 1.13.3 though).

Research direction

Start by reviewing how the C_Cpp.codeAnalysis.clangTidy.args setting is handled and compare it with the workaround described here. Read the previous issue, 9981, for context on variable expansion. Done means users can provide a separate C_Cpp.codeAnalysis.clangTidy.configFile path instead of adding --config-file to the arguments.
