Chandler Carruth ea56494625 Remove the very substantial, largely unmaintained legacy PGO
infrastructure.

This was essentially work toward PGO based on a design that had several
flaws, partially dating from a time when LLVM had a different
architecture, and with an effort to modernize it abandoned without being
completed. Since then, it has bitrotted for several years further. The
result is nearly unusable, and isn't helping any of the modern PGO
efforts. Instead, it is getting in the way, adding confusion about PGO
in LLVM and distracting everyone with maintenance on essentially dead
code. Removing it paves the way for modern efforts around PGO.

Among other effects, this removes the last of the runtime libraries from
LLVM. Those are being developed in the separate 'compiler-rt' project
now, with somewhat different licensing specifically more approriate for
runtimes.

Rafael Espindola 668c642830 Remove the LLVM specific archive index.
Archive files (.a) can have a symbol table indicating which object
files in them define which symbols. The purpose of this symbol table
is to speed up linking by allowing the linker the read only the .o
files it is actually going to use instead of having to parse every
object's symbol table.

LLVM's archive library currently supports a LLVM specific format for
such table. It is hard to see any value in that now that llvm-ld is
gone:

* System linkers don't use it: GNU ar uses the same plugin as the
linker to create archive files with a regular index. The OS X ar
creates no symbol table for IL files, I assume the linker just parses
all IL files.

* It doesn't interact well with archives having both IL and native objects.

* We probably don't want to be responsible for yet another archive
format variant.

This patch then:

* Removes support for creating and reading such index from lib/Archive.
* Remove llvm-ranlib, since there is nothing left for it to do.

We should in the future add support for regular indexes to llvm-ar for
both native and IL objects. When we do that, llvm-ranlib should be
reimplemented as a symlink to llvm-ar, as it is equivalent to "ar s".

Nothing fancy, just a simple demonstration parser.

Michael J. Spencer 9125493efe Remove llvm-ld and llvm-stub (which is only used by llvm-ld).
llvm-ld is no longer useful and causes confusion and so it is being removed.

* Does not work very well on Windows because it must call a gcc like driver to
  assemble and link.
* Has lots of hard coded paths which are wrong on many systems.
* Does not understand most of ld's options.
* Can be partially replaced by llvm-link | opt | {llc | as, llc -filetype=obj} |
  ld, or fully replaced by Clang.

I know of no production use of llvm-ld, and hacking use should be
replaced by Clang's driver.

Daniel Dunbar 8889bb08b8 LLVMBuild: Introduce a common section which currently has a list of the
subdirectories to traverse into.
 - Originally I wanted to avoid this and just autoscan, but this has one key
   flaw in that new subdirectories can not automatically trigger a rerun of the
   llvm-build tool. This is particularly a pain when switching back and forth
   between trees where one has added a subdirectory, as the dependencies will
   tend to be wrong. This will also eliminates FIXME implicitly.
