Traditionally, toolchain components such as cc, as, and ld have been
built as static executables. The WITH_SHARED_TOOLCHAIN option from
src.conf(5) is meant to link these as regular executables, e.g. using
shared libraries.
The build of ld.lld did not yet check this option. Fix the Makefile so
it will do so now.

LLD_BOOTSTRAP (build) is independent of LLD_IS_LD (installed) so they
should not be based on each other.
This is related to upcoming WITH_SYSTEM_LINKER work.

Upstream lld has no man page. Introduce a basic one for FreeBSD based on
ld.lld --help, with a brief introduction and additional detail for some
options.
We'll continue refining this in FreeBSD, and then submit it upstream once
the first round of edits are complete.

During the upgrade of clang/llvm etc to 3.9.0 in r309124, the PACKAGE
directive in the usr.bin/clang/*.mk files got dropped accidentally.
Restore it, with a few minor changes and additions:
* Correct license in clang.ucl to NCSA
* Add PACKAGE=clang for clang and most of the "ll" tools
* Put lldb in its own package
* Put lld in its own package

If set it installs LLD as /usr/bin/ld. LLD (as of version 3.9) is not
capable of linking the world and kernel, but can self-host and link many
substantial applications. GNU ld continues to be used for the world and
kernel build, regardless of how this knob is set.
It is on by default for arm64, and off for all other CPU architectures.
