[libc][docs] reorder docs to be more beginner friendly (#122376)
This commit does a few things, with the intent to make it more straightforward
to potential future users how to get started with llvm-libc. Answers to "What's
the status and how do I use it?" are front and center, "above the fold."
This commit does a few things:
* reorganize the landing page's toctree: start with implementation status, arch
* support, platform support, and
compiler support.
* Then a (new) simple getting started page using full host builds. Then more
* Advanced topics such as host vs cross builds, overlay mode,
gpu builds and additional configuration options.
* Remove c23 status, the old fullbuild_mode landing page, and
usage_modes landing pages. c23 status isn't as interesting as I originally
thought it might.
We should point people at full host builds to start, then link to more info on
cross compilation, or overlay mode as more advanced topics. I assert most users
starting out won't care about those.
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.
