Sorry, forgot to mention that.

Formatting and sorting of includes: clang-format (with the option
enabled in the last patch)

Indexer: The indexer part of JetBrains Clion. Used to find and eliminate
unused includes. Followed by a manual compile to verify the result after
each compile unit.

No AI.

I haven't checked yet if there is any command line tool for identifying
unused includes yet. If so, we might be able to integrate something into
CI - on the long run.

For the formatting part clang-format is able to report differences - or
formatting violations. At the moment the code base is not ready for that
yet. Too much differences. Step by step.
