Summary:
This is the second attempt at allowing for the use of libraries that the linker cannot find. The first attempt used `CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH` and `find_library` to select which ABI library should be used. There were a number of problems with this approach:
- `find_library` didn't work with cmake targets (ie in-tree libcxxabi build)
- It wasn't always possible to determine where `find_library` actually found your library.
- `target_link_libraries` inserted the path of the ABI library into libc++'s RPATH when `find_library` was used.
- Linking libc++ and it's ABI library is a special case. It's a lot easier to keep it simple.
After discussion with @cbergstrum a new approach was decided upon.
This patch achieve the same ends by simply using `LIBCXX_CXX_ABI_LIBRARY_PATH` to specify where to find the library (if the linker won't find it). When this variable is defined it is simply added as a library search path when linking libc++. It is a lot easier to duplicate this behavior in LIT. It also prevents libc++ from being linked with an RPATH.

When libcxx is built in-tree with libcxxabi it links against libcxxabi using
the name of the cmake target and not the actual library name. The cmake target
will not work with `find_library()`, so it needs special case handling.

Summary:
This patch adds support for building/testing libc++ with an ABI library that the linker would not normally find.
- `CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH` is used to specify the list of search directories.
- The ABI library is now found using `find_library` instead of assuming its along the linker's search path.
- `CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH` is passed to our LIT config as `library_paths`.
- For each path in `library_paths` the following flags are added `-L<path> -Wl,-rpath -Wl,<path>`
Some changes in existing behavior were also added:
- `target_link_libraries` is now passed the ABI library file instead of the library name. Ex `target_link_libraries(cxx "/usr/lib/libc++abi.so")` vs `target_link_libraries(cxx "c++abi")`.
- `-Wl,-rpath -Wl,<path>` is now used on OSX to link to libc++ instead of env['DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH'] if `use_system_lib=False`.
