All these potential null pointer dereferences are reported by my static analyzer for null smart pointer dereferences, which has a different implementation from `alpha.cplusplus.SmartPtr`.
The checked pointers in this patch are initialized by Target::createXXX functions. When the creator function pointer is not correctly set, a null pointer will be returned, or the creator function may originally return a null pointer.
Some of them may not make sense as they may be checked before entering the function, but I fixed them all in this patch. I submit this fix because 1) similar checks are found in some other places in the LLVM codebase for the same return value of the function; and, 2) some of the pointers are dereferenced before they are checked, which may definitely trigger a null pointer dereference if the return value is nullptr.

No longer rely on an external tool to build the llvm component layout.
Instead, leverage the existing `add_llvm_componentlibrary` cmake function and
introduce `add_llvm_component_group` to accurately describe component behavior.
These function store extra properties in the created targets. These properties
are processed once all components are defined to resolve library dependencies
and produce the header expected by llvm-config.

These are documented as using modrm byte of 0xe8, 0xf0, and 0xf8
respectively. But hardware ignore bits 2:0. So 0xe9-0xef is treated
the same as 0xe8. Similar for the other two.
Fixing this required adding 8 new formats to the X86 instructions
to convey this information. Could have gotten away with 3, but
adding all 8 made for a more logical conversion from format to
modrm encoding.
I renumbered the format encodings to keep the register modrm
formats grouped together.
Force linking llvm-exegesis to static LLVM libraries instead of dylib
to prevent duplicate symbols due to linking both. Ideally, we'd want
to link to the dylib only here but the target sub-libraries use hidden
symbols from LLVM target libraries and therefore linking the dylib
fails.

A perf helper is always only ever cretaed to be checked for validity
then passed as Counter ctor argument, never to be touched again.
Its lifetime should outlive that of the counter, and there is never any
reason to have two different counters of top of the perf helper.
Make sure these assumptions always hold by making the Counter consume the
PerfHelper.

there appears to be an agreement that it is indeed sub-par,
and that we should provide an optional, measurement (not analysis!) -time
way to rectify the situation.
However, the solutions isn't entirely straight-forward.
We can just add an actual 'multiplexer' `MinSnippetRepetitor`, because
if we just concatenate snippets produced by `DuplicateSnippetRepetitor`
and `LoopSnippetRepetitor` and run+measure that, the measurement will
naturally be different from what we'd get by running+measuring
them separately and taking the min.
([[ https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%28x%2By%29%2F2+%21%3D+min%28x%2C+y%29 | `time(D+L)/2 != min(time(D), time(L))` ]])
Also, it seems best to me to have a single snippet instead of generating
a snippet per repetition mode, since the only difference here is that the
loop repetition mode reserves one register for loop counter.
As far as i can tell, we can either teach `BenchmarkRunner::runConfiguration()`
to produce a single report given multiple repetitors (as in the patch),
or do that one layer higher - don't modify `BenchmarkRunner::runConfiguration()`,
produce multiple reports, don't actually print each one, but aggregate them somehow
and only print the final one.
Initially i've gone ahead with the latter approach, but it didn't look like a natural fit;
the former (as in the diff) does seem like a better fit to me.
There's also a question of the test coverage. It sure currently does work here:

This avoids questionable code such as taking address of current
range-based for variable and comparing it with vector begin iterator.
While this may not be a problem in itself, it can be written more consice.
This was initially suggested by @aaronpuchert.
It seems like gcc 5.5 wants to iterate over the new variable instead
of the container that lives outside the loop. But of course this
new container is empty.
Plus using a different variable names makes the code more readable.
