Function _resolve_fast_compiler_binary

ci/meson/native_launchers.py:358–377

Resolve raw clang++ binary path, bypassing the Python entry point wrapper. The Python wrapper (clang-tool-chain-cpp.EXE) has ~3.6 second startup overhead. Using the raw binary directly saves this overhead for operations like --version checks. Returns: Path to raw clang
