Following the new flow for external object code emission,
provide flags to switch between integrated and external
backend similar to the integrated assembler options.
SPIR-V target is the only user of this functionality at
this point.
This patch also updated SPIR-V documentation to clarify
that integrated object code emission for SPIR-V is an
experimental feature.

Add support of linking files compiled into SPIR-V objects
using spirv-link.
Command line inteface examples:
clang --target=spirv64 test1.cl test2.cl
clang --target=spirv64 test1.cl -o test1.o
clang --target=spirv64 test1.o test2.cl -o test_app.out
This works independently from the SPIR-V generation method
(via an external tool or an internal backend) and applies
to either approach that is being used.

This patch adds a toolchain (TC) for SPIR-V along with the
following changes in Driver and base ToolChain and Tool.
This is required to provide a mechanism in clang to bypass
SPIR-V backend in LLVM for SPIR-V until it lands in LLVM and
matures.
The SPIR-V code is generated by the SPIRV-LLVM translator tool
named 'llvm-spirv' that is sought in 'PATH'.
The compilation phases/actions should be bound for SPIR-V in
the meantime as following:
compile -> tools::Clang
backend -> tools::SPIRV::Translator
assemble -> tools::SPIRV::Translator
However, Driver’s ToolSelector collapses compile-backend-assemble
and compile-backend sequences to tools::Clang. To prevent this,
added new {use,has}IntegratedBackend properties in ToolChain and
Tool to which the ToolSelector reacts on, and which SPIR-V TC
overrides.
Linking of multiple input files is currently not supported but
can be added separately.
