Aaron Ballman 32071a20bc Clarifying some of the requirements for building with Visual Studio on Windows. Namely, we require the latest Update to be installed (for sanity purposes), and we require CMake 2.8.12.2 for building LLVM with Visual Studio.

Keno Fischer 3c30544ace [docs] Add a note that the Visual Studio C++ tools are required
Watching new contributors trying to build LLVM on Windows, one of the
very common failure modes was getting a version of Visual Studio
that did not have a C++ compiler for CMake to put up. Trying to create
a C++ project in Visual Studio will cause Visual Studio to go and
download the C++ tools.

Rafael Espindola 21a400857f Require python 2.7.
We were already requiring 2.5, which meant that people on old linux distros
had to upgrade anyway.

Requiring python 2.6 will make supporting 3.X easier as we can use the 3.X
exception syntax.

According to the discussion on llvmdev, there is not much value is requiring
just 2.6, we may as well just require 2.7.

Sean Silva 1703e705cf [docs] Fix up some links to the preferred style.
:doc:`...` and :ref:`...` links help Sphinx keep track the dependencies
between documents and ensure that they are not pointing to nowhere.

Raw HTML links work just fine and are easier for people less familiar
with reST/Sphinx. They are easy to change over to the :doc:/:ref: style
after the fact so this is not a problem.

This commit doesn't fix all of them.

Sean Silva 92a44897a2 docs: Fix long standing linking antipattern.
Before we learned about :doc:, we used :ref: and put a dummy link at the
top of each page. Don't do that anymore.

This fixes PR14891 as a special case.
