See http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2017-June/113975.html for a related previous discussion.
Many tools install signal handlers to print stack traces and optionally
symbolize the addresses with an external program 'llvm-symbolizer' (when
searching for 'llvm-symbolizer', the directory containg the executable
is preferred over PATH).
'llvm-symbolizer' can be slow if the executable is large and/or if
llvm-symbolizer' itself is under-optimized. For example, my 'llvm-lto2' from a
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug build is 443MiB. The 'llvm-symbolizer' from the same
build takes ~2s to symbolize it. (An optimized 'llvm-symbolizer' takes 0.34s).
A crashed clang may take more than 5s to symbolize a stack trace.
If a test file has several `not --crash` RUN lines. It can be very slow in a Debug build.
This patch makes `not --crash` set an environment variable to suppress symbolization.
This is similar to D33804 which uses a command line option.
I pick 'symbolization' instead of 'symbolication' because the former is
used much more commonly and its stem matches 'llvm-symbolizer'.
Also set LLVM_DISABLE_CRASH_REPORT=1, which is currently only applicable on
`__APPLE__`.

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

This simplifies some code which had StringRefs to begin with, and
makes other code more complicated which had const char* to begin
with.
In the end, I think this makes for a more idiomatic and platform
agnostic API. Not all platforms launch process with null terminated
c-string arrays for the environment pointer and argv, but the api
was designed that way because it allowed easy pass-through for
posix-based platforms. There's a little additional overhead now
since on posix based platforms we'll be takign StringRefs which
were constructed from null terminated strings and then copying
them to null terminate them again, but from a readability and
usability standpoint of the API user, I think this API signature
is strictly better.

Summary:
Change the type of the Redirects parameter of llvm::sys::ExecuteAndWait,
ExecuteNoWait and other APIs that wrap them from `const StringRef **` to
`ArrayRef<Optional<StringRef>>`, which is safer and simplifies the use of these
APIs (no more local StringRef variables just to get a pointer to).
Corresponding clang changes will be posted as a separate patch.

Now the two possible uses of not are
* not cmd
Will return true if cmd doesn't crash and returns false.
* not --crash cmd
Will return true if cmd crashes.
It will be used/tested in a followup commit for the clang crash recovery
testing.

It was only used to implement ExecuteAndWait and ExecuteNoWait. Expose just
those two functions and make Execute and Wait implementations details.
