Nico Weber 3d9fa09aa2 gn build: Clean up README.rst a bit
- Make introduction a bit shorter
- Add a `git clone` step to Quick start
- Put command to run first in each of the Quick start steps
- Use ``code`` instead of `label` throughout; this is .rst not .md

Nico Weber 285becfa4c gn build: Add get.py script to download prebuilt gn, make gn.py run downloaded gn if gn is not on PATH
Prebuilts are available for x86_64 Linux, macOS, Windows. The script always
pulls the latest GN version.

Nico Weber ceabe8b02f gn build: Add gn.py wrapper script that adds --dotfile= and --root= parameters
Since people weren't enthused about moving the .gn file to the toplevel in
D56419, here's a script to make gn at least somewhat more pleasant to invoke
(useful for gn clean, gn args --list, gn desc, etc).

Nico Weber 12ccfed3ff [gn build] Add a script checking if sources in BUILD.gn and CMakeLists.txt files match.
Also fix a missing file in lib/Support/BUILD.gn found by the script.

The script is very stupid and assumes that CMakeLists.txt follow the standard
LLVM CMakeLists.txt formatting with one cpp source file per line. Despite its
simplicity, it works well in practice.

It would be nice if it also checked deps and maybe automatically applied its
suggestions.

Nico Weber 1b553a7472 [gn build] Create abi-breaking.h, config.h, llvm-config.h, and add a build file for llvm/lib/Support.
The comments at the top of
llvm/utils/gn/secondary/llvm/include/llvm/Config/BUILD.gn and
llvm/utils/gn/build/write_cmake_config.py should explain the main bits
happening in this patch. The main parts here are that these headers are
generated at build time, not gn time, and that currently they don't do any
actual feature checks but just hardcode most things based on the current OS,
which seems to work well enough. If this stops being enough, the feature checks
should each be their own action writing the result to somewhere, and the config
write step should depend on those checks (so that they can run in parallel and
as part of the build) -- utils/llvm/gn/README.rst already has some more words
on that in "Philosophy".

(write_cmake_config.py is also going to be used to write clang's
clang/include/clang/Config/config.h)

This also adds a few files for linking to system libraries in a consistent way
if needed in llvm/utils/gn/build/libs (and moves pthread to that model).0

I'm also adding llvm/utils/gn/secondary/llvm/lib/Target/targets.gni in this
patch because $native_arch is needed for writing llvm-config.h -- the rest of
it will be used later, when the build files for llvm/lib/Target get added. That
file describes how to select which archs to build.

As a demo, also add a build file for llvm-undname and make it the default build
target (it depends on everything that can currently be built).

Nico Weber f94d6ea95a Add initial scaffolding for the GN build.
See "GN build roundtable summary; adding GN build files to the repo" on
llvm-dev and cfe-dev for discussion.

In particular, this build is completely unsupported. People adding new files to
LLVM are not expected to update the GN build files, and reviewers are not
supposed to request the gn build files to be updated.

This adds just enough to be able to build llvm/lib/Demangle. It requires using
a monorepo.

This adds a few build config options you can set in args.gn
(`gn args out/foo --list` for all):
- is_debug = true to enable debug builds (defaults to release)
- llvm_enable_assertions to toggle assertions (defaults to true)
- clang_base_path, if set an absolute path to a locally-built clang to be used
  as host compiler
