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Additionally, I've deleted one document which appeared to be outdated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

libunwind LLVM Unwinder
=======================
Overview
========
libunwind is an implementation of the interface defined by the HP libunwind
project. It was contributed by Apple as a way to enable clang++ to port to
platforms that do not have a system unwinder. It is intended to be a small and
fast implementation of the ABI, leaving off some features of HP's libunwind
that never materialized (e.g. remote unwinding).
The unwinder has two levels of API. The high level APIs are the `_Unwind_*`
functions which implement functionality required by `__cxa_*` exception
functions. The low level APIs are the `unw_*` functions which are an interface
defined by the old HP libunwind project.

BuildingLibunwind
Current Status
--------------
libunwind is a production-quality unwinder, with platform support for DWARF
unwind info, SjLj, and ARM EHABI.
The low level libunwind API was designed to work either in-process (aka local)
or to operate on another process (aka remote), but only the local path has been
implemented. Remote unwinding remains as future work.
Platform and Compiler Support
-----------------------------
libunwind is known to work on the following platforms:
============ ======================== ============ ========================
OS Arch Compilers Unwind Info
============ ======================== ============ ========================
Any i386, x86_64, ARM Clang SjLj
Bare Metal ARM Clang, GCC EHABI
FreeBSD i386, x86_64, ARM64 Clang DWARF CFI
iOS ARM Clang SjLj
Linux ARM Clang, GCC EHABI
Linux i386, x86_64, ARM64 Clang, GCC DWARF CFI
Mac OS X i386, x86_64 Clang, GCC DWARF CFI
NetBSD x86_64 Clang, GCC DWARF CFI
Windows i386, x86_64, ARM, ARM64 Clang DWARF CFI
============ ======================== ============ ========================
The following minimum compiler versions are strongly recommended.
* Clang 3.5 and above
* GCC 4.7 and above.
Anything older *may* work.
