Sean Callanan efe5d5fe9d Changed builld-llvm.py to use .json files
LLDB has many branches in a variety of repositories.
The build-script.py file is subtly different for each set.
This is unnecessary and causes merge headaches.

This patch makes build-llvm.py consult a directory full 
of .json files, each one of which matches a particular
branch using a regular expression.

This update to the patch introduces a FALLBACK file
whose contents take precedence if the current branch
could not be identified.  If the current branch could be
identified, FALLBACK is updated, allowing the user to
e.g. cut branches off of known branches and still have
the automatic checkout mechanism work.

It also documents all of this.

LLDB Installation Instructions
==============================
LLDB builds on Mac OS X (with Xcode) and Linux (with GCC or Clang).
On Mac OS X, in addition to using Xcode you'll need to enable code signing
on your system to either build lldb or debug using lldb. Please see the code
signing documentation in docs/code-signing.txt for more detailed directions.
If you are building on Mac OS X and LLVM is not present in llvm/, then LLDB
will check it out automatically. The files in scripts/Xcode/repos determine
which branches of LLVM/Clang are checked out, depending on the current
LLDB branch, according to the algorithm in scripts/Xcode/repo.py.
For instructions to build LLDB on Linux, or more details about supported
compiler versions, other dependencies, and build flags, see:
