Sean Silva d7802ad8a5 docs: Improve HowToSetUpLLVMStyleRTTI.
* Fix confusing explanation regarding abstract classes.

* Clarify auto-upcasting and why `Shape` doesn't need a `classof()`.

Sean Silva d73b2818a1 docs: Update HowToSetUpLLVMStyleRTTI.
Recent changes to isa<>/dyn_cast<> have made unnecessary those classof()
of the form:

    static bool classof(const Foo *) { return true; }

Accordingly, remove mention of such classof() from the documentation.

Sean Silva 5ce54c2eb9 docs: Add HowToSetUpLLVMStyleRTTI.rst.
This document describes how to set up LLVM-style RTTI for a class
hierarchy. Surprisingly, this was not previously documented.

Also, link it into ProgrammersManual.html.
