This is similar to how we divide up the StaticAnalyzer libraries to separate
core functionality to what is clearly associated with Frontend actions.

That commit added a new library just to hold the RawCommentList. I've
started a discussion on the commit thread about whether that is really
meritted -- it certainly doesn't seem necessary at this stage.
However, the immediate problem is that the AST library has a hard
dependency on the Comment library, but the dependencies were set up
completely backward. In addition to the layering violation, this had an
unfortunate effect if scattering the Comments library dependency
throughout the build system, but inconsistently so -- several parts of
the CMake dependencies were missing and only showed up due to transitive
deps or the fact that the target wasn't being built by tho bots.
It turns out that the Comments library can't (currently) be a well
formed layer *below* the AST library either, as it has an API that
accepts an ASTContext. That parameter is currently unused, so maybe that
was a mistake?
Anyways, it really seems like this is logically part of the AST --
that's the whole point of the ASTContext providing access to it as far
as I can tell -- so I've merged it into the AST library to solve the
immediate layering violation problems and remove some of the churn from
our library dependencies.

* Retain comments in the AST
* Serialize/deserialize comments
* Find comments attached to a certain Decl
* Expose raw comment text and SourceRange via libclang

Provides an API to run clang tools (FrontendActions) as standalone tools,
or repeatedly in-memory in a process. This is useful for unit-testing,
map-reduce style applications, source transformation daemons or command line
tools.
The ability to run over multiple translation units with different command
line arguments enables building up refactoring tools that need to apply
transformations across translation unit boundaries.
See tools/clang-check/ClangCheck.cpp for an example.
