Why not 10.0?  clang-format 10.0.0 has been there for two years. Using
it will remove some clang-format >= 10.0 below. Related:
Linux kernel now requires Clang >= 11.0.
Since this patch introduces new tool, we can require higher versions.
Installing new clang-format isn't so difficult for old systems. There
are prebuilt packages even if the distro stops upgrading them.

"Feature request: Two different indentation width options, one for code, one for pre-processor directives" :(

Yeah, I picked over-indent  for compiler-rt sanitizers as well
