custom name clang-format configuration file not found

[egendron93]

When specifying the style for a clang format configuration file with a custom name in a project's root directory, the user needs to specify the absolute path otherwise the config file is not found:

"clang-format.style": "file:.custom-name-clang-format"

Error reading .custom-name-clang-format: No such file or directory

An absolute path works:

"clang-format.style": "file:/workspaces/test_project/.custom-name-clang-format"

I wasn't able to determine what folder the clang-format command is being ran from or why the file name alone does not work. clang-format should be looking in parent directories to find the config file.

The Clang-format: Executable and Clang-format: Assume Filename settings support placeholders but the Clang-format: Style setting does not. Supporting placeholders in the Clang-format: Style setting could fix this issue but there may be a more simple solution.

one op. I would also like this to be fixed
