Summary:
This is the second attempt at allowing for the use of libraries that the linker cannot find. The first attempt used `CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH` and `find_library` to select which ABI library should be used. There were a number of problems with this approach:
- `find_library` didn't work with cmake targets (ie in-tree libcxxabi build)
- It wasn't always possible to determine where `find_library` actually found your library.
- `target_link_libraries` inserted the path of the ABI library into libc++'s RPATH when `find_library` was used.
- Linking libc++ and it's ABI library is a special case. It's a lot easier to keep it simple.
After discussion with @cbergstrum a new approach was decided upon.
This patch achieve the same ends by simply using `LIBCXX_CXX_ABI_LIBRARY_PATH` to specify where to find the library (if the linker won't find it). When this variable is defined it is simply added as a library search path when linking libc++. It is a lot easier to duplicate this behavior in LIT. It also prevents libc++ from being linked with an RPATH.

The build file was trying to use LIBCXX_VERSION, which isn't set
anywhere, and also forgot to split the 'compile_flags' list.

easier to use freshly-built clang with freshly-built libc++.
Basically, this makes it possible to run clang with libc++ without
having to install it, even if you don't have any version of libc++
installed in /usr/

You can now configure from the command line using:
-DLIBCXX_CXX_ABI=libsupc++
-DLIBCXX_LIBSUPCXX_INCLUDE_PATHS="path;path
Also documents how to build on Linux.
