Summary:
This patch adds a new CMake build setting LLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB, which defaults to OFF. When set to ON, this will generate a shared library containing most of LLVM. The contents of the shared library can be overriden by specifying LLVM_DYLIB_COMPONENTS. LLVM_DYLIB_COMPONENTS can be set to a semi-colon delimited list of any LLVM components that you llvm-config can resolve.
On Windows, unless you are using Cygwin, you must specify an explicit symbol export file using LLVM_EXPORTED_SYMBOL_FILE. On Cygwin and all unix-like platforms if you do not specify LLVM_EXPORTED_SYMBOL_FILE, an export file containing only the LLVM C API will be auto-generated from the list of LLVM components specified in LLVM_DYLIB_COMPONENTS.

"Create a default symver on Linux like ELF OSes."
Fails the build under Debian with ld.gold:

We were using libLLVM-Major.Minor.Patch.so for the soname, but we
need the soname to stay consistent for all Major.Minor.* releases
otherwise operating system distributors will need to rebuild all
packages that link with LLVM every time there is a new point release.
This patch also reverses the compatibility symlink, so
libLLVM-Major.Minor.Patch.so is now a symlink that points
to libLLVM-Major-Minor.so.

The shared library generated by autoconf will now be called
libLLVM-$(VERSION_MAJOR).$(VERSION_MINOR).$(VERSION_PATCH)$(VERSION_SUFFIX).so
and a symlink named
libLLVM-$(VERSION_MAJOR).$(VERSION_MINOR)$(VERSION_SUFFIX).so will
also be created in the install directory.

This centralizes the Makefile handling of -install_name and -rpath. It also
moves the cmake build to using @rpath. The reason being that libclang needs it,
and it works for everything else.
A followup patch will move clang to using this and then there will be a single
point to edit to support other systems.

This reduces the size of clang-format from 22 MB to 1.8 MB, diagtool goes from
21 MB to 2.8 MB, libclang.so goes from 29 MB to 20 MB, etc. The size of the
bin/ folder shrinks from 270 MB to 200 MB.
Targets that support plugins and don't already use EXPORTED_SYMBOL_FILE
(which libclang and libLTO already do) can set NO_DEAD_STRIP to opt out.

This kind of simplification is sometimes useful, but in general it's not correct.
As GNU/kFreeBSD is an hybrid system, for kernel-related issues we want to match the
build definitions used for FreeBSD, whereas for userland-related issues we want to
match the definitions used for other systems with Glibc.
The current modification adjusts the build system so that they can be distinguished,
and explicitly adds GNU/kFreeBSD to the build checks in which it belongs.
Fixes bug #16444.

Specifying the load address for Darwin i386 dylibs was a performance
optimization for dyld that is not relevant for x86_64 or arm. We can just
remove this now.

*BSD(s) have environ(7) in CRT startup and cannot resolve "environ" at linking llvm.so.
environ(7) is used inlib/System/Unix/Program.inc.

--enable-shared configure flag to have the tools linked shared. (2.7svn is just
$(LLVMVersion) so it'll change to "2.7" in the release.) Always link the
example programs shared to test that the shared library keeps working.
On my mac laptop, Debug libLLVM2.7svn.dylib is 39MB, and opt (for example) is
16M static vs 440K shared.
Two things are less than ideal here:
1) The library doesn't include any version information. Since we expect to break
the ABI with every release, this shouldn't be much of a problem. If we do
release a compatible 2.7.1, we may be able to hack its library to work with
binaries compiled against 2.7.0, or we can just ask them to recompile. I'm
hoping to get a real packaging expert to look at this for the 2.8 release.
2) llvm-config doesn't yet have an option to print link options for the shared
library. I'll add this as a subsequent patch.
