[CIR] Build out AST consumer patterns to reach the entry point into CIRGen Build out the necessary infrastructure for the main entry point into ClangIR generation -- CIRGenModule. A set of boilerplate classes exist to facilitate this -- CIRGenerator, CIRGenAction, EmitCIRAction and CIRGenConsumer. These all mirror the corresponding types from LLVM generation by Clang's CodeGen. The main entry point to CIR generation is `CIRGenModule::buildTopLevelDecl`. It is currently just an empty function. We've added a test to ensure that the pipeline reaches this point and doesn't fail, but does nothing else. This will be removed in one of the subsequent patches that'll add basic `cir.func` emission. This patch also re-adds `-emit-cir` to the driver. lib/Driver/Driver.cpp requires that a driver flag exists to facilirate the selection of the right actions for the driver to create. Without a driver flag you get the standard behaviors of `-S`, `-c`, etc. If we want to emit CIR IR and, eventually, bytecode we'll need a driver flag to force this. This is why `-emit-llvm` is a driver flag. Notably, `-emit-llvm-bc` as a cc1 flag doesn't ever do the right thing. Without a driver flag it is incorrectly ignored and an executable is emitted. With `-S` a file named `something.s` is emitted which actually contains bitcode.

Welcome to the LLVM project!
This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.
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.
C-like languages use the Clang frontend. 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.
Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
