Many LLVM-based tools already support response files (i.e. files
containing a list of options, specified with '@'). This change simply
updates the documentation and help text for some of these tools to
include it. I haven't attempted to fix all tools, just a selection that
I am interested in.
I've taken the opportunity to add some tests for --help behaviour, where
they were missing. We could expand these tests, but I don't think that's
within scope of this patch.
This fixes https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42233 and
https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42236.

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.

Summary:
The current implementation prepends a space on every line, making it difficult to compare against GNU strings.
The space appears to have come from handling --radix in rL292707. The space is for making sure there's a space between the radix and the value; however the space is still emitted even when there is no radix. This change fixes that so the space is only emitted when there is a radix.

On Windows at least, llvm-strings was crashing if it encountered bytes
that mapped to negative chars, as it was passing these into
std::isgraph and std::isblank functions, resulting in undefined
behaviour. On debug builds using MSVC, these functions verfiy that the
value passed in is representable as an unsigned char. Since the char is
promoted to an int, a value greater than 127 would turn into a negative
integer value, and fail the check. Using the llvm::isPrint function is
sufficient to solve the issue.

We have a few functions that virtually all command wants to run on
process startup/shutdown. This patch adds InitLLVM class to do that
all at once, so that we don't need to copy-n-paste boilerplate code
to each llvm command's main() function.

They don't actually change nay behaviour, as llvm-strings currently
checks the whole object without looking at individual sections anyway.
This allows using llvm-strings in a context that explicitly passes
the -a option.

The LLVM tools can be used as a replacement for binutils, in which case
it's convenient to create symlinks with the binutils names. Add support
for these symlinks in the build system. As with any other llvm tool
symlinks, the user can limit the installed symlinks by only adding the
desired ones to `LLVM_TOOLCHAIN_TOOLS`.

Permit specifying the match length (the `-n` or `--bytes` option). The
deprecated `-[length]` form is not supported as an option. This allows the
strings tool to display only the specified length strings rather than the
hardcoded default length of >= 4.

Revert "test: remove the archive before modifying it"
Revert "test: explicitly use gnu format"
This reverts commits r286778, r286729 and r286767, as they are randomly failing

Until we have handling for ignoring unloaded sections, simplify the logic to
the point of triviality. This fixes the scanning of archives, particularly when
embedded in archives.

This is a replacement to binutils' string tool. It prints strings found in a
binary (object file, executable, or archive library). It is rather bare and
not functionally equivalent, however, it lays the groundwork necessary for the
strings tool, enabling iterative development of features to reach feature
parity.
