James Henderson 583ccd4384 [FileCheck] Add CHECK-EMPTY directive for checking for blank lines
Prior to this change, there was no clean way of getting FileCheck to
check that a line is completely empty. The expected way of using
"CHECK: {{^$}}" does not work because the '^' matches the end of the
previous match (this behaviour may be desirable in certain instances).
For the same reason, "CHECK-NEXT: {{^$}}" will fail when the previous
match was at the end of the line, as the pattern will match there.
Using the recommended [[:space:]] to match an explicit new line could
also match a space, and thus is not always desired. Literal '\n'
matches also do not work. A workaround was suggested in the review, but
it is a little clunky.

This change adds a new directive that behaves the same as CHECK-NEXT,
except that it only matches against empty lines (nothing, not even
whitespace, is allowed). As with CHECK-NEXT, it will fail if more than
one newline occurs before the next blank line. Example usage:
; test.txt
foo

bar
; CHECK: foo
; CHECK-EMPTY:
; CHECK-NEXT: bar
