This patch adds the -fminimize-whitespace with the following effects:
* If combined with -E, remove as much non-line-breaking whitespace as
possible.
* If combined with -E -P, removes as much whitespace as possible,
including line-breaks.
The motivation is to reduce the amount of insignificant changes in the
preprocessed output with source files where only whitespace has been
changed (add/remove comments, clang-format, etc.) which is in particular
useful with ccache.
A patch for ccache for using this flag has been proposed to ccache as well:
https://github.com/ccache/ccache/pull/815, which will use
-fnormalize-whitespace when clang-13 has been detected, and additionally
uses -P in "unify_mode". ccache already had a unify_mode in an older
version which was removed because of problems that using the
preprocessor itself does not have (such that the custom tokenizer did
not recognize C++11 raw strings).
This patch slightly reorganizes which part is responsible for adding
newlines that are required for semantics. It is now either
startNewLineIfNeeded() or MoveToLine() but never both; this avoids the
ShouldUpdateCurrentLine workaround and avoids redundant lines being
inserted in some cases. It also fixes a mandatory newline not inserted
after a _Pragma("...") that is expanded into a #pragma.

Before this patch, Lex() would recurse whenever the current lexer changed (e.g.
upon entry into a macro). This patch turns the recursion into a loop: the
various lex routines now don't return a token when the current lexer changes,
and at the top level Preprocessor::Lex() now loops until it finds a token.
Normally, the recursion wouldn't end up being very deep, but the recursion depth
can explode in edge cases like a bunch of consecutive macros which expand to
nothing (like in the testcase test/Preprocessor/macro_expand_empty.c in this
patch).

- This is designed to make it obvious that %clang_cc1 is a "test variable"
which is substituted. It is '%clang_cc1' instead of '%clang -cc1' because it
can be useful to redefine what gets run as 'clang -cc1' (for example, to set
a default target).
