clang currently uses .init_array instead of .ctors on Linux if it detects gcc
4.7+. Make it so that it also uses .init_array if no gcc installation is found
at all – if there's no old gcc, there's nothing we need to be compatible with.
icecc for example runs clang in a very small chroot, so before this change
clang would use .ctors if run under icecc. And lld currently silently mislinks
inputs with .ctors sections, so before this clang + icecc + lld would produce
broken binaries. (But this seems like a good change independent of that lld
bug.)

For some regression tests the path to the right toolchain is specified using the -sysroot switch. However, if clang was configured with a custom gcc toolchain (either by using GCC_INSTALL_PREFIX in cmake or the equivalent configure command), the path to the custom gcc toolchain path takes precedence to the one specified by sysroot. This causes several regression tests to fail as they will be using an unexpected path. This patch fixes this issue by adding --gcc-toolchain='' to all tests that rely on that. The empty string causes the driver to pick the path from sysroot instead.

Previously, this flag to CC1 was never exposed at the clang driver
layer, and if you happened to enable it (by being on Android or GCC 4.7
platform), you couldn't *disable* it, because there was no 'no' variant.
The whole thing was confusingly implemented.
Now, the target-specific flag processing gets the driver arg list, and
we use standard hasFlag with a default based on the GCC version and/or
Android platform. The user can still pass the 'no-' variant to forcibly
disable the flag, or pass the positive variant to clang itself to enable
the flag.
The test has also been substantially cleaned up and extended to cover
these use cases.

The dynamic linker of Android does not support .ctors/.dtors.
We should emit .init_array and .fini_array regardless the
gcc version.
NOTE: This patch does not affect the ARM backend, because
it is required to generate .init_array and .fini_array
for program targeting ARM AAPCS and AEABI.

option. On the driver, check if we are using libraries from gcc 4.7 or newer
and if so pass -fuse-init-array to the frontend.
The crtbegin*.o files in gcc 4.7 no longer call the constructors listed in
.ctors, so we have to use .init_array.
