Revert r310775 for now, until we can figure out why it does not seem to
work properly when cross-building. Sorry for the breakage.

Move llvm-objdump from CLANG_EXTRAS to installed by default

We currently install three tools from binutils 2.17.50: as, ld, and
objdump. Work is underway to migrate to a permissively-licensed
tool-chain, with one goal being the retirement of binutils 2.17.50.

LLVM's llvm-objdump is intended to be compatible with GNU objdump
although it is currently missing some options and may have formatting
differences. Enable it by default for testing and further investigation.
It may later be changed to install as /usr/bin/objdump, it becomes a
fully viable replacement.

Upgrade our copies of clang, llvm, lldb, compiler-rt and libc++ to 3.9.0
release, and add lld 3.9.0. Also completely revamp the build system for
clang, llvm, lldb and their related tools.

Please note that from 3.5.0 onwards, clang, llvm and lldb require C++11
support to build; see UPDATING for more information.

Release notes for llvm, clang and lld are available here:

Thanks to Ed Maste, Bryan Drewery, Andrew Turner, Antoine Brodin and Jan
Beich for their help.

Relnotes: yes

Some further micro-optimizations for the libllvm and lldb build.

Add WITH_/WITHOUT_LLD knobs to enable the lld linker

Use this to control inclusion of the libllvm functionality required
by lld. Enable by default on arm64 and amd64, the two platforms where
lld is

Use this to control inclusion of the libllvm functionality required
by lld. Enable by default on arm64 and amd64, the two platforms where
lld is most usable for testing.

Completely revamp the way llvm, clang and lldb are built.

* Bootstrap llvm-tblgen and clang-tblgen with a minimal llvm static
library, that has no other dependencies.
* Roll up all separate llvm libraries into one big static libllvm.
* Similar for all separate clang and lldb static libraries.
* For all these libraries, generate their .inc files only once.
* Link all llvm tools (including extra) against the big libllvm.
* Link clang and clang-format against the big libllvm and libclang.
* Link lldb against the big libllvm, libclang and liblldb.

N.B.: This is work in progress, some details may still be missing.

It also heavily depends on bsd.*.mk's support for SRCS and DPSRCS with
relative pathnames, which apparently does not always work as expected.
For building llvm, clang and lldb though, it seems to work just fine.

The main idea behind this restructuring is maintainability and build
peformance. The previous large number of very small libraries, each
with their own generated files and dependencies was slow to traverse
and hard to understand.

Possible future improvements:
* Only build certain targets, e.g. for most regular users having just
one target will be fine. This will shave off some build time.
* Building the big llvm, clang and lldb libraries as shared (private)
libraries.
* Adding other components from the LLVM project, such as lld.
