This diff changes llvm-ifs to use unified IFS file format
and perform other renaming changes in preparation for the
merging between elfabi/ifs.

Prior to this change the clang interface stubs format resembled
something ending with a symbol list like this:
Symbols:
a: { Type: Func }
This was problematic because we didn't actually want a map format and
also because we didn't like that an empty symbol list required
"Symbols: {}". That is to say without the empty {} llvm-ifs would crash
on an empty list.
With this new format it is much more clear which field is the symbol
name, and instead the [] that is used to express an empty symbol vector
is optional, ie:
Symbols:
- { Name: a, Type: Func }
or
Symbols: []
or
Symbols:
This further diverges the format from existing llvm-elftapi. This is a
good thing because although the format originally came from the same
place, they are not the same in any way.

Second Landing Attempt:
This patch enables end to end support for generating ELF interface stubs
directly from clang. Now the following:
clang -emit-interface-stubs -o libfoo.so a.cpp b.cpp c.cpp
will product an ELF binary with visible symbols populated. Visibility attributes
and -fvisibility can be used to control what gets populated.
* Adding ToolChain support for clang Driver IFS Merge Phase
* Implementing a default InterfaceStubs Merge clang Tool, used by ToolChain
* Adds support for the clang Driver to involve llvm-ifs on ifs files.
* Adds -emit-merged-ifs flag, to tell llvm-ifs to emit a merged ifs text file
instead of the final object format (normally ELF)
