[clang][DependencyScanning] Separate clangDependencyScanning and DependencyScanningTool (NFC) (#169962) This patch is the first of two in refactoring Clang's dependency scanning tooling to remove its dependency on clangDriver. It separates Tooling/DependencyScanningTool.cpp from the rest of clangDependencyScanning and moves clangDependencyScanning out of clangTooling into its own library. No functional changes are introduced. The follow-up patch (#169964) will restrict clangDependencyScanning to handling only -cc1 command line inputs and will move all functionality related to handling driver commands into clangTooling. (Tooling/DependencyScanningTool.cpp). This is part of a broader effort to support driver-managed builds for compilations using C++ named modules and/or Clang modules. It is required for linking the dependency scanning tooling against the driver without introducing cyclic dependencies, which would otherwise cause build failures when dynamic linking is enabled.

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.
