[Driver] Move CommonArgs to a location visible by the Frontend Drivers (#142800)

This patch moves the CommonArgs utilities into a location visible by the
Frontend Drivers, so that the Frontend Drivers may share option parsing
code with the Compiler Driver. This is useful when the Frontend Drivers
would like to verify that their incoming options are well-formed and
also not reinvent the option parsing wheel.

We already see code in the Clang/Flang Drivers that is parsing and
verifying its incoming options. E.g. OPT_ffp_contract. This option is
parsed in the Compiler Driver, Clang Driver, and Flang Driver, all with
slightly different parsing code. It would be nice if the Frontend
Drivers were not required to duplicate this Compiler Driver code. That
way there is no/low maintenance burden on keeping all these parsing
functions in sync.

Along those lines, the Frontend Drivers will now have a useful mechanism
to verify their incoming options are well-formed. Currently, the
Frontend Drivers trust that the Compiler Driver is not passing back junk
in some cases. The Language Drivers may even accept junk with no error
at all. E.g.:

  `clang -cc1 -mprefer-vector-width=junk test.c'

With this patch, we'll now be able to tighten up incomming options to
the Frontend drivers in a lightweight way.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

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.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM

Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.

For information on how to contribute to the LLVM project, please take a look at the Contributing to LLVM guide.
