This is a fairly large patch that implements all of the filesystem NB comments
and the relative paths changes (ex. adding weakly_canonical). These issues
and papers are all interrelated so their implementation couldn't be split up
nicely.
This patch upgrades <experimental/filesystem> to match the C++17 spec and not
the published experimental TS spec. Some of the changes in this patch are both
API and ABI breaking, however libc++ makes no guarantee about stability for
experimental implementations.
The major changes in this patch are:
* Implement NB comments for filesystem (P0492R2), including:
* Implement `perm_options` enum as part of NB comments, and update the
`permissions` function to match.
* Implement changes to `remove_filename` and `replace_filename`
* Implement changes to `path::stem()` and `path::extension()` which support
splitting examples like `.profile`.
* Change path iteration to return an empty path instead of '.' for trailing
separators.
* Change `operator/=` to handle absolute paths on the RHS.
* Change `absolute` to no longer accept a current path argument.
* Implement relative paths according to NB comments (P0219r1)
* Combine `path.cpp` and `operations.cpp` since some path functions require
access to the operations internals, and some fs operations require access
to the path parser.

path uses string::append to construct, append, and concatenate paths. Unfortunatly
string::append has a strong exception safety guaranteed and if it can't prove
that the iterator operations don't throw then it will allocate a temporary
string copy to append to. However this extra allocation and copy is very
undesirable for path which doesn't have the same exception guarantees.
To work around this this patch adds string::__append_forward_unsafe which exposes
the std::string::append interface for forward iterators without enforcing
that the iterator is noexcept.

This patch entirely rewrites the parsing logic for paths. Unlike the previous
implementation this one stores information about the current state; For example
if we are in a trailing separator or a root separator. This avoids the need for
extra lookahead (and extra work) when incrementing or decrementing an iterator.
Roughly this gives us a 15% speedup over the previous implementation.
Unfortunately this implementation is still a lot slower than libstdc++'s.
Because libstdc++ pre-parses and splits the path upon construction their
iterators are trivial to increment/decrement. This makes libc++ lazy parsing
100x slower than libstdc++. However the pre-parsing libstdc++ causes a ton
of extra and unneeded allocations when constructing the string. For example
`path("/foo/bar/")` would require at least 5 allocations with libstdc++
whereas libc++ uses only one. The non-allocating behavior is much preferable
when you consider filesystem usages like 'exists("/foo/bar/")'.
Even then libc++'s path seems to be twice as slow to simply construct compared
to libstdc++. More investigation is needed about this.

This patch enables the `cxx-benchmarks` target by default. Note that the target
still has to be manually invoked since it isn't included in the default 'make'
rule.
This patch also gets the benchmarks building w/ GCC. The build previously
required the '-stdlib=libc++' flag but upstream patches to Google Benchmark
now allow the library to build w/ libc++ and GCC.
These changes should make the benchmarks easier to build and test.

I've put some work into the Google Benchmark library in order to make it easier
to benchmark libc++. These changes have already been upstreamed into
Google Benchmark and this patch applies the changes to the in-tree version.
The main improvement in the addition of a 'compare_bench.py' script which
makes it very easy to compare benchmarks. For example to compare the native
STL to libc++ you would run:
`$ compare_bench.py ./util_smartptr.native.out ./util_smartptr.libcxx.out`
And the output would look like:

Summary:
This patch does the following:
1. Checks in a copy of the Google Benchmark library into the libc++ repo under `utils/google-benchmark`.
2. Teaches libc++ how to build Google Benchmark against both (A) in-tree libc++ and (B) the platforms native STL.
3. Allows performance benchmarks to be built as part of the libc++ build.
Building the benchmarks (and Google Benchmark) is off by default. It must be enabled using the CMake option `-DLIBCXX_INCLUDE_BENCHMARKS=ON`. When this option is enabled the tests under `libcxx/benchmarks` can be built using the `libcxx-benchmarks` target.
On Linux platforms where libstdc++ is the default STL the CMake option `-DLIBCXX_BUILD_BENCHMARKS_NATIVE_STDLIB=ON` can be used to build each benchmark test against libstdc++ as well. This is useful for comparing performance between standard libraries.
Support for benchmarks is currently very minimal. They must be manually run by the user and there is no mechanism for detecting performance regressions.
Known Issues:
* `-DLIBCXX_INCLUDE_BENCHMARKS=ON` is only supported for Clang, and not GCC, since the `-stdlib=libc++` option is needed to build Google Benchmark.
