ClangFormat: Fix configuration files handling

1. Fallback to the base style from the invalid config file:
   If the .clang-format file from the earlier clang version is used
   and can't be parsed by LibFormat try to find a base style and
   generate the updated config based on that information.
2. Do not create new .clang-format configuration for each project.
   Rely on the global one until the user explicitly creates the
   configuration for the project.
