This has come up a few times recently, and I was surprised to notice that we don't have anything in the docs.
This patch deliberately sticks to stuff that is uncontroversial in the community. Everything herein is thought to be widely agreed to by a large majority of the community. A few things were noted and removed in review which failed this standard, if you spot anything else, please point it out.

Before, the first mention of LLVM's license on the developer policy page stated
that LLVM's license is Apache 2. This patch makes that more accurate by
mentioning the LLVM exception this first time the LLVM license is discussed on
that page, i.e. Apache-2.0 with LLVM-exception.
Technically, the correct SPDX identifier for LLVM's license is 'Apache-2.0 WITH
LLVM-exception', but I thought that writing the 'WITH' in lower case made the
paragraph easier to read without reducing clarity.

Adding new paragraphs under "Introducing New Components" section to
check the different levels of support we have, to help introduction of
smaller set of changes without overwhelming new collaborators and
potentially losing the contribution.

Summary:
Fixes two minor issues in the docs present under `ninja docs-llvm-html`:
1 - A header is too small:
```
Warning, treated as error:
llvm/llvm/docs/Passes.rst:70:Title underline too short.
``-basic-aa``: Basic Alias Analysis (stateless AA impl)

```
2 - Multiple definitions on a non-anonymous target (llvm-dev mailing list):
```
Warning, treated as error:

Uploading output from `git format-patch` fails when version has
more than 2 dots, e.g. git version 2.24.1.windows.2 which is
currently recommended by e.g. GitExtensions or 2.24.1.rc on Linux.

This is an update to the documentation of our community code-review process.
Based on the RFC: High-Level Code-Review Documentation Update
(http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2019-November/136808.html).
In this patch, I've pulled out the documentation into a separate file, and
broken it into a number of subsections. This is, of course, just one further
step in better documenting our community processes. I expect we'll continue to
improve this over time. Thank you to everyone who provided feedback!

Experimental targets are meant to be maintained by the community behind
the target. They are not monitored by the primary build bots. This
change clarifies that it is this communities responsibility for things
like test fixes related to the target caused by changes unrelated to
that target.

The older method of adding 'Patch by John Doe' is documented in the
`Attribution of Changes` section to support correct attribution of commits
that pre-date the adoption of git.

all missed!
Thanks to Alex Bradbury for pointing this out, and the fact that I never
added the intended `legacy` anchor to the developer policy. Add that
anchor too. With hope, this will cause the links to all resolve
successfully.

This installs the new developer policy and moves all of the license
files across all LLVM projects in the monorepo to the new license
structure. The remaining projects will be moved independently.
Note that I've left odd formatting and other idiosyncracies of the
legacy license structure text alone to make the diff easier to read.
Critically, note that we do not in any case *remove* the old license
notice or terms, as that remains necessary until we finish the
relicensing process.
I've updated a few license files that refer to the LLVM license to
instead simply refer generically to whatever license the LLVM project is
under, basically trying to minimize confusion.
This is really the culmination of so many people. Chris led the
community discussions, drafted the policy update and organized the
multi-year string of meeting between lawyers across the community to
figure out the strategy. Numerous lawyers at companies in the community
spent their time figuring out initial answers, and then the Foundation's
lawyer Heather Meeker has done *so* much to help refine and get us ready
here. I could keep going on, but I just want to make sure everyone
realizes what a huge community effort this has been from the begining.

official Git repository.
Remove the directions for using git-svn, and demote the prominence of
the svn instructions.
Also, fix a few other issues while I'm in there:
* Mention LLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS more.
* Getting started doesn't need to mention test-suite, but should
mention clang and the other projects.
* Remove mentions of "configure", since that's long gone.
I've also adjusted a few other mentions of svn to point to github, but
have not done so comprehensively.

Clarify that you should not introduce trailing whitespace when making a commit and that you should not remove trailing whitespace that's unrelated to code you are changing or are about to change. Then clarified the developer policy around what is considered an obvious whitespace commit.
llvm-svn: 339455
Making explicit our current policy to accept new targets as experimental and
later official. Every new target should follow these rules to be added,
and kept relevant in the upstream tree.
llvm-svn: 278971
Successive versions of LLVM should retain the ability to parse bitcode
generated by old releases of the compiler. This adds a bitcode format
compatibility test, which is intended to provide good (albeit not
entirely exhaustive) coverage of the current LangRef.
This also includes compatibility tests for LLVM 3.6. After every 3.X.0
release, the compatibility.ll file from the 3.X branch should be copied
to compatibility-3.X.ll on trunk, and the 3.X.0 release used to generate
a corresponding bitcode file.
