James Y Knight 5d71fc5d7b Adjust documentation for git migration.
This fixes most references to the paths:
 llvm.org/svn/
 llvm.org/git/
 llvm.org/viewvc/
 github.com/llvm-mirror/
 github.com/llvm-project/
 reviews.llvm.org/diffusion/

to instead point to https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.

This is *not* a trivial substitution, because additionally, all the
checkout instructions had to be migrated to instruct users on how to
use the monorepo layout, setting LLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS instead of
checking out various projects into various subdirectories.

I've attempted to not change any scripts here, only documentation. The
scripts will have to be addressed separately.

Additionally, I've deleted one document which appeared to be outdated
and unneeded:
  lldb/docs/building-with-debug-llvm.txt

Getting Started
===============
On Mac OS, the easiest way to get this library is to link with -lSystem.
However if you want to build tip-of-trunk from here (getting the bleeding
edge), read on.
The basic steps needed to build libc++ are:
#. Checkout LLVM, libunwind, and related projects:
* ``cd where-you-want-llvm-to-live``
* ``git clone https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git``
#. Configure and build libunwind:
CMake is the only supported configuration system.
Clang is the preferred compiler when building and using libunwind.
* ``cd where you want to build llvm``
* ``mkdir build``
* ``cd build``
* ``cmake -G <generator> -DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS=libunwind [options] <path to llvm sources>``
For more information about configuring libunwind see :ref:`CMake Options`.
* ``make unwind`` --- will build libunwind.
* ``make check-unwind`` --- will run the test suite.
Shared and static libraries for libunwind should now be present in llvm/build/lib.
#. **Optional**: Install libunwind
If your system already provides an unwinder, it is important to be careful
not to replace it. Remember Use the CMake option ``CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`` to
select a safe place to install libunwind.
* ``make install-unwind`` --- Will install the libraries and the headers
It is sometimes beneficial to build outside of the LLVM tree. An out-of-tree
build would look like this:
.. code-block:: bash
$ cd where-you-want-libunwind-to-live
$ # Check out llvm, and libunwind
$ ``svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk llvm``
$ ``svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/libunwind/trunk libunwind``
$ cd where-you-want-to-build
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ export CC=clang CXX=clang++
$ cmake -DLLVM_PATH=path/to/llvm \
path/to/libunwind
$ make
.. _CMake Options:
CMake Options
=============
Here are some of the CMake variables that are used often, along with a
brief explanation and LLVM-specific notes. For full documentation, check the
CMake docs or execute ``cmake --help-variable VARIABLE_NAME``.
**CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE**:STRING
Sets the build type for ``make`` based generators. Possible values are
Release, Debug, RelWithDebInfo and MinSizeRel. On systems like Visual Studio
the user sets the build type with the IDE settings.
**CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX**:PATH
Path where LLVM will be installed if "make install" is invoked or the
"INSTALL" target is built.
**CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER**:STRING
The C++ compiler to use when building and testing libunwind.
