Chris Bieneman b448adb807 [lit] Use argparse instead of optparse
Summary:
optparse is deprecated in Python 2.7, which is the minimum version of
Python required to run the LLVM test suite. Replace its usage in lit
with argparse, optparse's 2.7 replacement module.

argparse has several benefits over optparse, but this commit does not
make use of those benefits yet. Instead, it simply uses the new API,
and attempts to keep the number of changes to a minimum.

Confirmed that lit's test suite, as well as LLVM's regression test suite,
still pass with these changes.

===============================
 lit - A Software Testing Tool
===============================

lit is a portable tool for executing LLVM and Clang style test suites,
summarizing their results, and providing indication of failures. lit is designed
to be a lightweight testing tool with as simple a user interface as possible.

=====================
 Contributing to lit
=====================

Please read the TODO file in this directory for ideas on what to work on.
Before submitting patches, run the test suite to ensure nothing has regressed:

    # From within your LLVM source directory.
    utils/lit/lit.py \
        --path /path/to/your/llvm/build/bin \
        utils/lit/tests

Note that lit's tests depend on 'not' and 'FileCheck', LLVM utilities.
You will need to have built LLVM tools in order to run lit's test suite
successfully.
