[Bazel] Get `//clang` building on Windows with clang-cl.

This required substantially more invasive changes.

We need to handle some of the LLVM `config.h` changes differently from
the old pattern. These aren't always safe on the commandline, and the
Windows ones specifically break Clang. Instead, use conditional defines
in the header itself. This more closely matches how CMake builds see the
definitions. I think this is also just cleaner and we should maybe move
more of the macros out of Bazel.

The config defines for Windows that I've kept in Bazel are the ones that
LLVM's CMake does at the commandline as well. I've also added numerous
ones that CMake uses and we didn't replicate in Bazel.

I also needed a different approach to get `libclang` working well. This,
IMO, improves things on all platforms. Now we build the plugin and
actually wrap it back up with `cc_import`. We have to use a collection
of manually tagged `cc_binary` rules to get the naming to work out the
right way, but this isn't too different from the prior approach. By
directly having a `cc_binary` rule for each platform spelling of
`libclang`, we can actually extract the interface library from it and
correctly depend on it with `cc_import`. I think the result now is much
closer to the intent and to the CMake build for libclang.

Sadly, some tests also needed disabling. This is actually narrower than
what CMake does. The issue isn't indicative of anything serious -- the
test just assumes Unix-style paths.

I also have cleaned up the Windows flags in `.bazelrc` to much more
closely match what CMake does.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

This directory and its sub-directories contain source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The README briefly describes how to get started with building LLVM. For more information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.

Getting Started with the LLVM System

Taken from https://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html.

Overview

Welcome to the LLVM project!

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer. It also contains basic regression tests.

C-like languages use the Clang front end. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM

The LLVM Getting Started documentation may be out of date. The Clang Getting Started page might have more accurate information.

This is an example work-flow and configuration to get and build the LLVM source:

  1. Checkout LLVM (including related sub-projects like Clang):

    • git clone https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git

    • Or, on windows, git clone --config core.autocrlf=false https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project.git

  2. Configure and build LLVM and Clang:

    • cd llvm-project

    • cmake -S llvm -B build -G <generator> [options]

      Some common build system generators are:

      • Ninja --- for generating Ninja build files. Most llvm developers use Ninja.
      • Unix Makefiles --- for generating make-compatible parallel makefiles.
      • Visual Studio --- for generating Visual Studio projects and solutions.
      • Xcode --- for generating Xcode projects.

      Some common options:

      • -DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS='...' --- semicolon-separated list of the LLVM sub-projects you'd like to additionally build. Can include any of: clang, clang-tools-extra, compiler-rt,cross-project-tests, flang, libc, libclc, libcxx, libcxxabi, libunwind, lld, lldb, mlir, openmp, polly, or pstl.

        For example, to build LLVM, Clang, libcxx, and libcxxabi, use -DLLVM_ENABLE_PROJECTS="clang;libcxx;libcxxabi".

      • -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=directory --- Specify for directory the full path name of where you want the LLVM tools and libraries to be installed (default /usr/local).

      • -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=type --- Valid options for type are Debug, Release, RelWithDebInfo, and MinSizeRel. Default is Debug.

      • -DLLVM_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS=On --- Compile with assertion checks enabled (default is Yes for Debug builds, No for all other build types).

    • cmake --build build [-- [options] <target>] or your build system specified above directly.

      • The default target (i.e. ninja or make) will build all of LLVM.

      • The check-all target (i.e. ninja check-all) will run the regression tests to ensure everything is in working order.

      • CMake will generate targets for each tool and library, and most LLVM sub-projects generate their own check-<project> target.

      • Running a serial build will be slow. To improve speed, try running a parallel build. That's done by default in Ninja; for make, use the option -j NNN, where NNN is the number of parallel jobs, e.g. the number of CPUs you have.
