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.

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.

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.
These are no longer needed after the recent 'beforebuild: depend' changes
and hooking DIRDEPS_BUILD into a subset of FAST_DEPEND which supports
skipping 'make depend'.
