Kirill Bobyrev 0f55045526 Pull google/benchmark library to the LLVM tree
This patch pulls google/benchmark v1.4.1 into the LLVM tree so that any
project could use it for benchmark generation. A dummy benchmark is
added to `llvm/benchmarks/DummyYAML.cpp` to validate the correctness of
the build process.

The current version does not utilize LLVM LNT and LLVM CMake
infrastructure, but that might be sufficient for most users. Two
introduced CMake variables:

* `LLVM_INCLUDE_BENCHMARKS` (`ON` by default) generates benchmark
  targets
* `LLVM_BUILD_BENCHMARKS` (`OFF` by default) adds generated
  benchmark targets to the list of default LLVM targets (i.e. if `ON`
  benchmarks will be built upon standard build invocation, e.g. `ninja` or
  `make` with no specific targets)

List of modifications:

* `BENCHMARK_ENABLE_TESTING` is disabled
* `BENCHMARK_ENABLE_EXCEPTIONS` is disabled
* `BENCHMARK_ENABLE_INSTALL` is disabled
* `BENCHMARK_ENABLE_GTEST_TESTS` is disabled
* `BENCHMARK_DOWNLOAD_DEPENDENCIES` is disabled

LLVM Documentation
==================

LLVM's documentation is written in reStructuredText, a lightweight
plaintext markup language (file extension `.rst`). While the
reStructuredText documentation should be quite readable in source form, it
is mostly meant to be processed by the Sphinx documentation generation
system to create HTML pages which are hosted on <http://llvm.org/docs/> and
updated after every commit. Manpage output is also supported, see below.

If you instead would like to generate and view the HTML locally, install
Sphinx <http://sphinx-doc.org/> and then do:

    cd <build-dir>
    cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_SPHINX=true -DSPHINX_OUTPUT_HTML=true <src-dir>
    make -j3 docs-llvm-html
    $BROWSER <build-dir>/docs//html/index.html

The mapping between reStructuredText files and generated documentation is
`docs/Foo.rst` <-> `<build-dir>/docs//html/Foo.html` <-> `http://llvm.org/docs/Foo.html`.

If you are interested in writing new documentation, you will want to read
`SphinxQuickstartTemplate.rst` which will get you writing documentation
very fast and includes examples of the most important reStructuredText
markup syntax.

Manpage Output
===============

Building the manpages is similar to building the HTML documentation. The
primary difference is to use the `man` makefile target, instead of the
default (which is `html`). Sphinx then produces the man pages in the
directory `<build-dir>/docs/man/`.

    cd <build-dir>
    cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_SPHINX=true -DSPHINX_OUTPUT_MAN=true <src-dir>
    make -j3 docs-llvm-man
    man -l >build-dir>/docs/man/FileCheck.1

The correspondence between .rst files and man pages is
`docs/CommandGuide/Foo.rst` <-> `<build-dir>/docs//man/Foo.1`.
These .rst files are also included during HTML generation so they are also
viewable online (as noted above) at e.g.
`http://llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/Foo.html`.

Checking links
==============

The reachability of external links in the documentation can be checked by
running:

    cd docs/
    make -f Makefile.sphinx linkcheck

Doxygen page Output
==============

Install doxygen <http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/download.html> and dot2tex <https://dot2tex.readthedocs.io/en/latest>.

    cd <build-dir>
    cmake -DLLVM_ENABLE_DOXYGEN=On <llvm-top-src-dir>
    make doxygen-llvm # for LLVM docs
    make doxygen-clang # for clang docs

It will generate html in
    
    <build-dir>/docs/doxygen/html # for LLVM docs
    <build-dir>/tools/clang/docs/doxygen/html # for clang docs
