Subject: [PATCH] Add .clang-format file for C++ code formatting (#7904)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

This implements the enhancement requested in #1441, providing a
clang-format configuration file that matches Z3's existing C++ style.

Key features of the configuration:
- 4-space indentation with no tabs
- Linux-style bracing (opening brace on same line for functions)
- 120 column width limit
- C++20 standard compliance
- Preserves existing include ordering conventions
- Optimized for Z3's established code patterns

The configuration has been tested with existing codebase samples
and produces formatting consistent with Z3's style guidelines.

Closes #1441
