Chris Bieneman f06abbb393 LLVM Driver Multicall tool
This patch adds an llvm-driver multicall tool that can combine multiple
LLVM-based tools. The build infrastructure is enabled for a tool by
adding the GENERATE_DRIVER option to the add_llvm_executable CMake
call, and changing the tool's main function to a canonicalized
tool_name_main format (i.e. llvm_ar_main, clang_main, etc...).

As currently implemented llvm-driver contains dsymutil, llvm-ar,
llvm-cxxfilt, llvm-objcopy, and clang (if clang is included in the
build).

llvm-driver can be enabled from builds by setting
LLVM_TOOL_LLVM_DRIVER_BUILD=On.

There are several limitations in the current implementation, which can
be addressed in subsequent patches:

(1) the multicall binary cannot currently properly handle
multi-dispatch tools. This means symlinking llvm-ranlib to llvm-driver
will not properly result in llvm-ar's main being called.
(2) the multicall binary cannot be comprised of tools containing
conflicting cl::opt options as the global cl::opt option list cannot
contain duplicates.

These limitations can be addressed in subsequent patches.
