Summary:
There are a few LLVM projects that produce runtime libraries. Ideally
runtime libraries should be built differently than other projects,
specifically they should be built using the just-built toolchain.
There is support for building compiler-rt in this way from the clang
build. Moving this logic into the LLVM build is interesting because it
provides a simpler way to extend the just-built toolchain to include
LLD and the LLVM object file tools.
Once this functionality is better fleshed out and tested we’ll want to
encapsulate it in a module that can be used for clang standalone
builds, and we’ll want to make it the default way to build compiler-rt.
With this patch applied there is no immediate change in the build.
Moving compiler-rt out from llvm/projects into llvm/runtimes enables
the functionality.
This code has a few improvements over the method provided by
LLVM_BUILD_EXTERNAL_COMPILER_RT. Specifically the sub-ninja command is
always invoked, so changes to compiler-rt source files will get built
properly, so this patch can be used for iterative development with
just-built tools.
This first patch only works with compiler-rt. Support for other
runtime projects will be coming in follow-up patches.

This makes it so that when running 'ninja test-suite' from the top-level LLVM ninja build it *always* re-runs the ninja command in the test-suite directory.
This mechanism is required because the top-level ninja file doesn't have a view into the subdirectory dependency tree, so it can't know what, if anything, needs to be rebuilt.

When passing around CMake arguments as lists of arguments any arguments containing lists need to have their semi-colons escaped otherwise CMake will split the arguments in the middle.

Summary:
This patch adds a new CMake module for working with ExternalProjects. This wrapper for ExternalProject supports using just-built tools and can hook up dependencies properly so that projects get cleared out.
The example usage here is for the llvm test-suite. In this example, the test-suite is setup as dependent on clang and lld if they are in-tree. If the clang or lld binaries change the test-suite is re-configured, cleaned, and rebuilt.
This cleanup and abstraction wrapping ExternalProject can be extended and applied to other runtime libraries like compiler-rt and libcxx.
