That really depends on the use case. For distributed compilation and caching 
`*-prefix-map` flags are undesirable because they include absolute path in the 
compiler invocation, see 
https://blog.llvm.org/2019/11/deterministic-builds-with-clang-and-lld.html for 
more details. `-fdebug-compilation-dir` and the proposed `-fsource-dir` don't 
have that issue because they use relative paths. However, there might still be 
uses for `*-prefix-map` outside of distributed compilation and caching so I'd 
be fine with including both.
