Description
We will accept a PR about creating a compile_commands.json at the end of every configure. This file needs a caching that is very similar to the current configurationCache.log. Unify.
See relevant discussion about this idea and alternatives here: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-makefile-tools/pull/107.

Research direction
Read the discussion in PR #107, then trace the existing configurationCache.log handling and the configure completion path. The work is complete when each configure produces a consistently cached compile_commands.json and the cache behavior is unified with the existing configuration cache.
