Bump minimum required LLVM version to 6.0

Based on the discussion in #55842, while the overall position of Rust wrt LLVM continues to be contentious, there does seem to be a consensus that there is no need for continued support of LLVM 5. This PR bumps our version requirement to LLVM 6.0 and makes Travis run against that.

I hope that this is going to unblock #52694. If I understand correctly, while this issue still exists in LLVM 6, Ubuntu has backported the relevant patch.

This directory currently contains some LLVM support code. This will generally
be sent upstream to LLVM in time; for now it lives here.

NOTE: the LLVM C++ ABI is subject to between-version breakage and must *never*
be exposed to Rust. To allow for easy auditing of that, all Rust-exposed types
must be typedef-ed as "LLVMXyz", or "LLVMRustXyz" if they were defined here.

Functions that return a failure status and leave the error in
the LLVM last error should return an LLVMRustResult rather than an
int or anything to avoid confusion.

When translating enums, add a single `Other` variant as the first
one to allow for new variants to be added. It should abort when used
as an input.

All other types must not be typedef-ed as such.
