clang-format: Explicitly require version 3.8 of the tool

Versions of clang-format newer than 3.8 produce different output.
Our source code guide says that version 3.8 exactly must be used.
Update the comment in our `.clang-format` config file accordingly.
Add a check to our formatting script to verify the version.
Also update its tool search to look for the explicitly-named
3.8 variant first.
