This updates the LLVM wide documentation for building LLVM and the runtimes
and adds a CMake warning when folks specify libcxx, libcxxabi or libunwind
in LLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS, pointing them to the updated instructions for
building the runtimes.
Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D112724
The updated list is based on the output of
cmake -G Ninja -S llvm -B build -DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS='foo'.

The current size of the llvm-project repository exceeds 1 GB. A shallow clone can save a lot of space and time. Some developers might not aware of this feature.

After D80096, bots that build clang for distribution and that can't use
system gcc / libstdc++ need to pass a working rpath so that unit test
binaries can run. The method suggested in GettingStarted.rst works fine
for local development, but it results in an absolute local rpath ending
up even in distributed binaries like clang, which is both ugly and
unnecessary.
Add an explicit toggle that can be used to add an rpath only for the
non-distributed binaries that need it.

Summary:
Due to deleting the git llvm script, folks were asking for better documentation
about how to use git in order to commit to the Github repo. I added some step
by step git commands to make the usage clearer.

Changed the language in LLVM_USE_LINKER to more strongly recommend LLD
and to specify that the GNU gold linker is only useful if LLD is
unavailable in binary form and it is the first build of LLVM. Added that
LLD will help when used on ELF-based platforms.
Corrected information in CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE regarding the Release build
type and enabling assertions.
Added option LLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS and mentioned enabling this option
with a Release build as an alternative to using a Debug build.
Specified that the LLVM_OPTIMIZED_TABLEGEN
option is only for Debug builds, that the LLVM_USE_SPLIT_DWARF option
is only available on ELF host platforms, and that setting
CLANG_ENABLE_STATIC_ANALYZER to OFF only slightly improves build time.
These changes address comments made in D75425.

Summary:
Back in January I changed the minimum toolchain version required to build clang
and LLVM: D57264. Since then we've release LLVM 8, following
[our process](http://llvm.org/docs/DeveloperPolicy.html#toolchain)
it's therefore now a good time to remove the soft-error and officially deprecate
older toolchains. I tried this out last Tursday night to see if any bots
complained, and I saw no complaints. I also manually audited bots and didn't see
any bot that should break, but their toolchain information is unreliable and
some bots are offline.
Once this patch stick we'll move to C++14 as we've
[already agreed](http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2019-January/129452.html).

Until recently, Python_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS was used to limit LLVM's
Python support to 2.7. Now that both LLVM and LLDB both support Python
3, there's no longer a need to put an arbitrary limit on this.
However, instead of removing the variable, r365692 expanded the list,
which has the (presumably unintentional) side-effect of expression
preference for Python 3.
Instead, as Michal proposed in the original code review, we should just
not set the list at all, and let CMake pick whatever Python interpreter
you have in your path.
This patch removes the Python_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS variable in llvm,
clang and lld. I've also updated the docs with the default behavior and
how to force a different Python version to be used.

This updates all places in documentation that refer to "Mac OS X", "OS X", etc.
to instead use the modern name "macOS" when no specific version number is
mentioned.
If a specific version is mentioned, this attempts to use the OS name at the time
of that version:
* Mac OS X for 10.0 - 10.7
* OS X for 10.8 - 10.11
* macOS for 10.12 - present
