This patch adds the -fminimize-whitespace with the following effects:
* If combined with -E, remove as much non-line-breaking whitespace as
possible.
* If combined with -E -P, removes as much whitespace as possible,
including line-breaks.
The motivation is to reduce the amount of insignificant changes in the
preprocessed output with source files where only whitespace has been
changed (add/remove comments, clang-format, etc.) which is in particular
useful with ccache.
A patch for ccache for using this flag has been proposed to ccache as well:
https://github.com/ccache/ccache/pull/815, which will use
-fnormalize-whitespace when clang-13 has been detected, and additionally
uses -P in "unify_mode". ccache already had a unify_mode in an older
version which was removed because of problems that using the
preprocessor itself does not have (such that the custom tokenizer did
not recognize C++11 raw strings).
This patch slightly reorganizes which part is responsible for adding
newlines that are required for semantics. It is now either
startNewLineIfNeeded() or MoveToLine() but never both; this avoids the
ShouldUpdateCurrentLine workaround and avoids redundant lines being
inserted in some cases. It also fixes a mandatory newline not inserted
after a _Pragma("...") that is expanded into a #pragma.

When a macro expansion does not result in any tokens, and the macro name
is preceded by whitespace, the whitespace should be passed to the first
token that follows the macro expansion. Similarly when a macro expansion
ends with a placemarker token, and that placemarker token is preceded by
whitespace. This worked already for top-level macro expansions, but is
now extended to also work for nested macro expansions.

- This is designed to make it obvious that %clang_cc1 is a "test variable"
which is substituted. It is '%clang_cc1' instead of '%clang -cc1' because it
can be useful to redefine what gets run as 'clang -cc1' (for example, to set
a default target).
