Improve the clang-format and its management

[felipe-olmos-orange]

After investigating I found that there is an issue of lack of idempotency due to long lines comments with tabs. This can happen to us when comment code since we use tabs for indenting.

I reproduced the issue, and indeed it requires two or more times to fix.

I propose:

• To set ReflowComments: false (I tested it and it works)
• To try to set it back to true once the fix to the issue arrives which will be with clang 17.

That looks ok for me: I just have to add this options in the .clang-format file of my branch?

Otherwise, which extension should be installed in Visual C++?

I will fix this and add the fix to dev, you can then add it yourself to dev-v11 (usually we should rebase, but this double dev setup makes it more difficult for begginners)

Otherwise, which extension should be installed in Visual C++?

In visual studio 2022 is integrated: see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/reference/options-text-editor-c-cpp-formatting?view=vs-2022

La solution Visual C++ ne marche pas:
cf. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72449679/how-to-apply-format-when-saving-in-visual-studio-2022

J'ai essayé la solution proposée en installant l'extension "Format document on Save" (pas la version 2022, qui ne marche pas)
Paramétrage de Visual C++ 2022:

• menu Extensions/Gérer les extensions
• rechercher (Ctrl fn E) "Format "`
• choisir "Format document on save" (pas ... for VS2022, qui ne marche pas)
• télécharger
• l'extension sera activée après avoir quitté puis relancé Visual C++ 2022
• cela marche et le format est automatiquement appliqué à chaque sauvegarde

A documenter dans le wiki
