[Buildroot] [PATCH v3 1/6] package/llvm: new host package

This patch installs LLVM on the host machine: tools and libraries.

In order to cross-compile LLVM for the target, LLVM
must be installed on the host, or at least llvm-tblgen.
This is necessary as the path to host's llvm-tblgen must
be specified when cross-compiling using the option LLVM_TABLEGEN.
Also, a version of llvm-config that can run on the host will
be required by packages that link with LLVM libraries, so we
need to generate it and install it in STAGING_DIR/usr/bin.

It is important to remark why we need llvm-config(host variant)
installed in STAGING dir. This tool is necessary to build
applications that use LLVM, as it prints the compiler flags,
linker flags and object libraries needed to link against LLVM libs.

More info: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=219369

The original idea was to compile only llvm-tblgen and llvm-config
for the host, as they are the only necessary componentes. However,
llvm-config tool does not work as expected if it is not linked with
libLLVM.so, so we must also enable LLVM_LINK_LLVM_DYLIB, what builds
LLVM as a single shared library and links LLVM tools with it.

More info: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=224847
in comment #11.

If we don't build full LLVM for the host, it would be necessary to
patch configure.ac from mesa3d if we want dynamic linking, because it
uses llvm-config (host variant installed in STAGING_DIR) to get the
necessary LLVM libraries to link with, what has the following problems:

llvm-config --shared mode outputs static (even if LLVM is built as
one shared library)

llvm-config --libs outputs all LLVM tiny libs: -lLLVMLTO, -lLLVMPasses,etc.

Mesa tries to execute: llvm-config --link-shared --libs, but this outputs
llvm-config: error: libLLVM-5.0.so is missing.

Given that these problems may arise with other packages that use LLVM, it
is preferable to do a full build for the host. Also, having a complete
installation of LLVM on the host will also facilitate the integration
of Clang front-end, what is going to be added in a future patch.

As this package is intended to be used together with Mesa3D to enable llvmpipe,
we target x86 architecture. Mesa strongly recommends support for SSE2. Support
for SSE3 and SSE4.1 will yield the most efficient code.
