See http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2017-June/113975.html for a related previous discussion.
Many tools install signal handlers to print stack traces and optionally
symbolize the addresses with an external program 'llvm-symbolizer' (when
searching for 'llvm-symbolizer', the directory containg the executable
is preferred over PATH).
'llvm-symbolizer' can be slow if the executable is large and/or if
llvm-symbolizer' itself is under-optimized. For example, my 'llvm-lto2' from a
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug build is 443MiB. The 'llvm-symbolizer' from the same
build takes ~2s to symbolize it. (An optimized 'llvm-symbolizer' takes 0.34s).
A crashed clang may take more than 5s to symbolize a stack trace.
If a test file has several `not --crash` RUN lines. It can be very slow in a Debug build.
This patch makes `not --crash` set an environment variable to suppress symbolization.
This is similar to D33804 which uses a command line option.
I pick 'symbolization' instead of 'symbolication' because the former is
used much more commonly and its stem matches 'llvm-symbolizer'.
Also set LLVM_DISABLE_CRASH_REPORT=1, which is currently only applicable on
`__APPLE__`.

to reflect the new license.
We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.
Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and
repository.

This simplifies some code which had StringRefs to begin with, and
makes other code more complicated which had const char* to begin
with.
In the end, I think this makes for a more idiomatic and platform
agnostic API. Not all platforms launch process with null terminated
c-string arrays for the environment pointer and argv, but the api
was designed that way because it allowed easy pass-through for
posix-based platforms. There's a little additional overhead now
since on posix based platforms we'll be takign StringRefs which
were constructed from null terminated strings and then copying
them to null terminate them again, but from a readability and
usability standpoint of the API user, I think this API signature
is strictly better.

We currently use target_link_libraries without an explicit scope
specifier (INTERFACE, PRIVATE or PUBLIC) when linking executables.
Dependencies added in this way apply to both the target and its
dependencies, i.e. they become part of the executable's link interface
and are transitive.
Transitive dependencies generally don't make sense for executables,
since you wouldn't normally be linking against an executable. This also
causes issues for generating install export files when using
LLVM_DISTRIBUTION_COMPONENTS. For example, clang has a lot of LLVM
library dependencies, which are currently added as interface
dependencies. If clang is in the distribution components but the LLVM
libraries it depends on aren't (which is a perfectly legitimate use case
if the LLVM libraries are being built static and there are therefore no
run-time dependencies on them), CMake will complain about the LLVM
libraries not being in export set when attempting to generate the
install export file for clang. This is reasonable behavior on CMake's
part, and the right thing is for LLVM's build system to explicitly use
PRIVATE dependencies for executables.
Unfortunately, CMake doesn't allow you to mix and match the keyword and
non-keyword target_link_libraries signatures for a single target; i.e.,
if a single call to target_link_libraries for a particular target uses
one of the INTERFACE, PRIVATE, or PUBLIC keywords, all other calls must
also be updated to use those keywords. This means we must do this change
in a single shot. I also fully expect to have missed some instances; I
tested by enabling all the projects in the monorepo (except dragonegg),
and configuring both with and without shared libraries, on both Darwin
and Linux, but I'm planning to rely on the buildbots for other
configurations (since it should be pretty easy to fix those).
Even after this change, we still have a lot of target_link_libraries
calls that don't specify a scope keyword, mostly for shared libraries.
I'm thinking about addressing those in a follow-up, but that's a
separate change IMO.

Summary:
Change the type of the Redirects parameter of llvm::sys::ExecuteAndWait,
ExecuteNoWait and other APIs that wrap them from `const StringRef **` to
`ArrayRef<Optional<StringRef>>`, which is safer and simplifies the use of these
APIs (no more local StringRef variables just to get a pointer to).
Corresponding clang changes will be posted as a separate patch.

Since r197684, "install/bin/llvm-config --obj-root" hasn't shown the build tree. The builder was finding utils in the build tree, from the installed tree.
I will revert this after dragonegg builder would be tweaked not to use installed llvm-config.

Summary:
The MSVCRT deliberately sends main() code-page specific characters.
This isn't too useful to LLVM as we end up converting the arguments to
UTF-16 and subsequently attempt to use the result as, for example, a
file name. Instead, we need to have the ability to access the Unicode
command line and transform it to UTF-8.
This has the distinct advantage over using the MSVC-specific wmain()
function as our entry point because:
- It doesn't work on cygwin.
- It only work on MinGW with caveats and only then on certain versions.
- We get to keep our entry point as main(). :)
N.B. This patch includes fixes to other parts of lib/Support/Windows
s.t. we would be able to take advantage of getting the Unicode paths.
E.G. clang spawning clang -cc1 would want to give it Unicode arguments.

Now the two possible uses of not are
* not cmd
Will return true if cmd doesn't crash and returns false.
* not --crash cmd
Will return true if cmd crashes.
