`clang-format` autoformatting not working properly when using a `.clang-format` file

[thernstig]

Environment

• OS and Version: Windows 11 23H2
• VS Code Version: 1.92.2
• C/C++ Extension Version: v1.21.6
• If using SSH remote, specify OS of remote machine: wsl (Ubuntu 20.04)

Bug Summary and Steps to Reproduce

Bug Summary:
I am not using any VS code settings overrides for the C_Cpp.clang_format. options. I have a .clang-format with the following content:

BasedOnStyle: Chromium
InsertNewlineAtEOF: true

The C file src/main.c contents are:

#include <stdio.h>

/**
 * @brief Some info
 *
 * @param argc - The main `arg`
 * @param argv - The not main arg
 * @return int
 */
int main(int argc, char const* argv[]) {
  int a, b;
  printf("Foo mains\n");
  return 0;
}

If using the Format Document command from within VS Code it does not add a new line at EOF (End Of File). However, if I invoke the clang-format command from a terminal, it does add a new line at EOF:

> clang-format -i src/main.c

Steps to reproduce:

1. Copy & paste the above files and test it via the VS code command Format Document.

Expected behavior:
It should format the file and add a new line at EOF.

Adding rationale why this is good:

Ending files with a new line is a POSIX standard: https://stackoverflow.com/a/729795/1853417

(@sean-mcmanus we are having some larger issues with our developers pushing code reviews where the newline at EOF InsertNewlineAtEOF: true is not respected, so verification fail in CI.)
