The Flang driver depends on libclangBasic. This means, among other
things, that some of the tablegen files (e.g. diagnostic definitions)
need to be generated before various libclangBasic header files can be
included (e.g. DiagnosticIDs.h). If we are lucky, libclangBasic is
indeed built before various flang driver libraries that depend on it
are. This patch makes sure that this is deterministic - i.e.
libclangBasic is built before the Flang driver libraries are.

In the frontend driver we should be using FC1Option (frontend driver
options) instead of FlangOption (flang driver options).

Summary:
This is the first patch implementing the new Flang driver as outlined in [1],
[2] & [3]. It creates Flang driver (`flang-new`) and Flang frontend driver
(`flang-new -fc1`). These will be renamed as `flang` and `flang -fc1` once the
current Flang throwaway driver, `flang`, can be replaced with `flang-new`.
Currently only 2 options are supported: `-help` and `--version`.
`flang-new` is implemented in terms of libclangDriver, defaulting the driver
mode to `FlangMode` (added to libclangDriver in [4]). This ensures that the
driver runs in Flang mode regardless of the name of the binary inferred from
argv[0].
The design of the new Flang compiler and frontend drivers is inspired by it
counterparts in Clang [3]. Currently, the new Flang compiler and frontend
drivers re-use Clang libraries: clangBasic, clangDriver and clangFrontend.
To identify Flang options, this patch adds FlangOption/FC1Option enums.
Driver::printHelp is updated so that `flang-new` prints only Flang options.
The new Flang driver is disabled by default. To enable it, set
`-DBUILD_FLANG_NEW_DRIVER=ON` when configuring CMake and add clang to
`LLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS` (e.g. -DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS=“clang;flang;mlir”).
