There's quite a lot of references to Polly in the LLVM CMake codebase. However
the registration pattern used by Polly could be useful to other external
projects: thanks to that mechanism it would be possible to develop LLVM
extension without touching the LLVM code base.
This patch has two effects:
1. Remove all code specific to Polly in the llvm/clang codebase, replaicing it
with a generic mechanism
2. Provide a generic mechanism to register compiler extensions.
A compiler extension is similar to a pass plugin, with the notable difference
that the compiler extension can be configured to be built dynamically (like
plugins) or statically (like regular passes).
As a result, people willing to add extra passes to clang/opt can do it using a
separate code repo, but still have their pass be linked in clang/opt as built-in
passes.

Summary:
Delete the BasicBlockPass and BasicBlockManager, all its dependencies and update documentation.
The BasicBlockManager was improperly tested and found to be potentially broken, and was deprecated as of rL373254.
In light of the switch to the new pass manager coming before the next release, this patch is a first cleanup of the LegacyPassManager.

Sphinx allows for definitions of command-line options using
`.. option <name>` and references to those options via `:option:<name>`.
However, it looks like there is no scoping of these options by default,
meaning that links can end up pointing to incorrect documents. See for
example the llvm-mca document, which contains references to -o that,
prior to this patch, pointed to a different document. What's worse is
that these links appear to be non-deterministic in which one is picked
(on my machine, some references end up pointing to opt, whereas on the
live docs, they point to llvm-dwarfdump, for example).
The fix is to add the .. program <name> tag. This essentially namespaces
the options (definitions and references) to the named program, ensuring
that the links are kept correct.

Summary:
This updates all places in documentation that refer to "Mac OS X", "OS X", etc.
to instead use the modern name "macOS" when no specific version number is
mentioned.
If a specific version is mentioned, this attempts to use the OS name at the time
of that version:
* Mac OS X for 10.0 - 10.7
* OS X for 10.8 - 10.11
* macOS for 10.12 - present

Summary:
This function is very similar to add_llvm_library(), so this patch merges it
into add_llvm_library() and replaces all calls to add_llvm_loadable_module(lib ...)
with add_llvm_library(lib MODULE ...)

This patch updates WritingAnLLVMPass.rst to make it in line with current state of things.
Specifically:
* Makefile instructions replaced with CMake ones
* Filenames replaced with correct ones
* Example reformatted a bit to make it less confusing and more conforming to LLVM Coding Standards
* opt tool output updated with what it actually prints nowdays
* "gcse" (which doesn't exist anymore) replaced with "gvn" (which still does)

Lots of blocks had "llvm" or "nasm" syntax types but either weren't following
the syntax, or the syntax has changed (and sphinx hasn't keep up) or the type
doesn't even exist (nasm?).
Other documents had :options: what were invalid. I only removed those that had
warnings, and left the ones that didn't, in order to follow the principle of
least surprise.
This is like this for ages, but the buildbot is now failing on errors. It may
take a while to upgrade the buildbot's sphinx, if that's even possible, but
that shouldn't stop us from getting docs updates (which seem down for quite
a while).
Also, we're not losing any syntax highlight, since when it doesn't parse, it
doesn't colour. Ie. those blocks are not being highlighted anyway.
I'm trying to get all docs in one go, so that it's easy to revert later if we
do fix, or at least easy to know what's to fix.

a LoopInfoWrapperPass to wire the object up to the legacy pass manager.
This switches all the clients of LoopInfo over and paves the way to port
LoopInfo to the new pass manager. No functionality change is intended
with this iteration.

Late last year r191835 removed a largely unmaintained legacy PGO
