This is a short-term fix for PR33650 aimed to get the modules build bots green again. Remove all the places where we use the LLVM_YAML_IS_(FLOW_)?SEQUENCE_VECTOR macros to try to locally specialize a global template for a global type. That's not how C++ works. Instead, we now centrally define how to format vectors of fundamental types and of string (std::string and StringRef). We use flow formatting for the former cases, since that's the obvious right thing to do; in the latter case, it's less clear what the right choice is, but flow formatting is really bad for some cases (due to very long strings), so we pick block formatting. (Many of the cases that were using flow formatting for strings are improved by this change.) Other than the flow -> block formatting change for some vectors of strings, this should result in no functionality change.

Design Of lib/System
====================
The software in this directory is designed to completely shield LLVM from any
and all operating system specific functionality. It is not intended to be a
complete operating system wrapper (such as ACE), but only to provide the
functionality necessary to support LLVM.
The software located here, of necessity, has very specific and stringent design
rules. Violation of these rules means that cracks in the shield could form and
the primary goal of the library is defeated. By consistently using this library,
LLVM becomes more easily ported to new platforms since the only thing requiring
porting is this library.
Complete documentation for the library can be found in the file:
llvm/docs/SystemLibrary.html
or at this URL:
http://llvm.org/docs/SystemLibrary.html
While we recommend that you read the more detailed documentation, for the
impatient, here's a high level summary of the library's requirements.
1. No system header files are to be exposed through the interface.
2. Std C++ and Std C header files are okay to be exposed through the interface.
3. No exposed system-specific functions.
4. No exposed system-specific data.
5. Data in lib/System classes must use only simple C++ intrinsic types.
6. Errors are handled by returning "true" and setting an optional std::string
7. Library must not throw any exceptions, period.
8. Interface functions must not have throw() specifications.
9. No duplicate function impementations are permitted within an operating
system class.
To accomplish these requirements, the library has numerous design criteria that
must be satisfied. Here's a high level summary of the library's design criteria:
1. No unused functionality (only what LLVM needs)
2. High-Level Interfaces
3. Use Opaque Classes
4. Common Implementations
5. Multiple Implementations
6. Minimize Memory Allocation
7. No Virtual Methods
