Add 'enum_select' diagnostic selection to clang. (#122505)
This causes us to generate an enum to go along with the select
diagnostic, which allows for clearer diagnostic error emit lines.

The syntax for this is:

%enum_select<EnumerationName>{%OptionalEnumeratorName{Text}|{Text2}}0

Where the curley brackets around the select-text are only required if an
Enumerator name is provided.

The TableGen here emits this as a normal 'select' to the frontend, which
permits us to reuse all of the existing 'select' infrastructure.
Documentation is the same as well.

C language Family Front-end

Welcome to Clang.

This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages (C, C++ and Objective-C) which is built as part of the LLVM compiler infrastructure project.

Unlike many other compiler frontends, Clang is useful for a number of things beyond just compiling code: we intend for Clang to be host to a number of different source-level tools. One example of this is the Clang Static Analyzer.

If you're interested in more (including how to build Clang) it is best to read the relevant websites. Here are some pointers:
