[clang-format] Strange formatting of chained calls with AlignAfterOpenBracket: BlockIndent

When I use `AlignAfterOpenBracket: BlockIndent` with chained calls, the formatted code looks like this:
```c++
object
.call1(
some, args, that, dont, fit, inline
)
.call2(
some, more, args, given, here
);
```
The idea of `BlockIndent`, at least for me, is to use block indentation *instead of* continuation indentation, but the result here unnecessarily uses both. Also I question why clang-format would break after `)` and `.call2`, this might make sense for other styles but not for `BlockIndent`. I would expect the formatted code to be
```c++
object.call1(
some, args, that, dont, fit, inline
).call2(
some, more, args, given, here
);
```
This might be more relevant for _javascript_ formatting where chained calls are more common.
This is technically more of a feature request than a bug report since there isn't a an objective reason why the generated formatting would be wrong, however I do hold the opinion that the intent behind the `BlockIndent` setting is violated by what clang-format currently produces.
