Upgrade to LLVM's master branch (LLVM 7) ### Current status ~~Blocked on a [performance regression](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/51966#issuecomment-402320576). The performance regression has an [upstream LLVM issue](https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38047) and has also [been bisected](https://reviews.llvm.org/D44282) to an LLVM revision.~~ Ready to merge! --- This commit upgrades the main LLVM submodule to LLVM's current master branch. The LLD submodule is updated in tandem as well as compiler-builtins. Along the way support was also added for LLVM 7's new features. This primarily includes the support for custom section concatenation natively in LLD so we now add wasm custom sections in LLVM IR rather than having custom support in rustc itself for doing so. Some other miscellaneous changes are: * We now pass `--gc-sections` to `wasm-ld` * The optimization level is now passed to `wasm-ld` * A `--stack-first` option is passed to LLD to have stack overflow always cause a trap instead of corrupting static data * The wasm target for LLVM switched to `wasm32-unknown-unknown`. * The syntax for aligned pointers has changed in LLVM IR and tests are updated to reflect this. * ~~The `thumbv6m-none-eabi` target is disabled due to an [LLVM bug][llbug]~~ Nowadays we've been mostly only upgrading whenever there's a major release of LLVM but enough changes have been happening on the wasm target that there's been growing motivation for quite some time now to upgrade out version of LLD. To upgrade LLD, however, we need to upgrade LLVM to avoid needing to build yet another version of LLVM on the builders. The revision of LLVM in use here is arbitrarily chosen. We will likely need to continue to update it over time if and when we discover bugs. Once LLVM 7 is fully released we can switch to that channel as well.

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.
