To facilitate experimentation with LTO we require an ar that supports
LLVM IR, and to a lesser degree also an nm. As a first step always
install llvm-ar and llvm-nm.

ASAN reports become a lot more useful with llvm-symbolizer in $PATH, and the
build is not much more time-consuming. The added benefit is that the
resulting reports will actually include symbol information; without, thread
trace information includes a bunch of addresses that immediately resolve to
an inline function in
^/contrib/compiler-rt/lib/sanitizer_common/sanitizer_common.h and take a
little more effort to examine.

llvm-profdata is used with llvm-cov for code coverage (although llvm-cov
can also operate independently in a gcov-compatible mode).
Although llvm-profdata can be used independently of llvm-cov it makes
sense to group these under one option.
Also handle these in OptionalObsoleteFiles.inc while here.

Introduce WITH_/WITHOUT_LLVM_COV to match GCC's WITH_/WITHOUT_GCOV.
It is intended to provide a superset of the interface and functionality
of gcov.
It is enabled by default when building Clang, similarly to gcov and GCC.
This change moves one file in libllvm to be compiled unconditionally.
Previously it was included only when WITH_CLANG_EXTRAS was set, but the
complexity of a new special case for (CLANG_EXTRAS | LLVM_COV) is not
worth avoiding a tiny increase in build time.

Move llvm-objdump from CLANG_EXTRAS to installed by default
We currently install three tools from binutils 2.17.50: as, ld, and
objdump. Work is underway to migrate to a permissively-licensed
tool-chain, with one goal being the retirement of binutils 2.17.50.
LLVM's llvm-objdump is intended to be compatible with GNU objdump
although it is currently missing some options and may have formatting
differences. Enable it by default for testing and further investigation.
It may later be changed to install as /usr/bin/objdump, it becomes a
fully viable replacement.

Use this to control inclusion of the libllvm functionality required
by lld. Enable by default on arm64 and amd64, the two platforms where
lld is most usable for testing.

* Bootstrap llvm-tblgen and clang-tblgen with a minimal llvm static
library, that has no other dependencies.
* Roll up all separate llvm libraries into one big static libllvm.
* Similar for all separate clang and lldb static libraries.
* For all these libraries, generate their .inc files only once.
* Link all llvm tools (including extra) against the big libllvm.
* Link clang and clang-format against the big libllvm and libclang.
* Link lldb against the big libllvm, libclang and liblldb.
N.B.: This is work in progress, some details may still be missing.
It also heavily depends on bsd.*.mk's support for SRCS and DPSRCS with
relative pathnames, which apparently does not always work as expected.
For building llvm, clang and lldb though, it seems to work just fine.
The main idea behind this restructuring is maintainability and build
peformance. The previous large number of very small libraries, each
with their own generated files and dependencies was slow to traverse
and hard to understand.
Possible future improvements:
* Only build certain targets, e.g. for most regular users having just
one target will be fine. This will shave off some build time.
* Building the big llvm, clang and lldb libraries as shared (private)
libraries.
* Adding other components from the LLVM project, such as lld.
all of the features in the current working draft of the upcoming C++
standard, provisionally named C++1y.
The code generator's performance is greatly increased, and the loop
auto-vectorizer is now enabled at -Os and -O2 in addition to -O3. The
PowerPC backend has made several major improvements to code generation
quality and compile time, and the X86, SPARC, ARM32, Aarch64 and SystemZ
backends have all seen major feature work.

This connects LLDB to the build, but it is disabled by default. Add
WITH_LLDB= to src.conf to build it.
Note that LLDB requires a C++11 compiler so is disabled on platforms
using GCC.
