This commit reworks the LLVM/Clang/LLD discovery process for CMake. The
biggest changes are that:
1. We search for LLVM from most preferred directory to least, skipping
any `llvm-config` that is the wrong version, or that doesn't
support the requested link mode ("static" or "shared").
2. `ZIG_PREFER_CLANG_CPP_DYLIB` has been renamed to `ZIG_SHARED_LLVM`,
to better align with `ZIG_STATIC_LLVM`.
3. We only search for LLVM in the same directory alongside LLVM.
4. LLVM's link mode is forwarded to Clang, so that we can look for the
appropriate shared/static libraries.
5. We use `--link-static` when querying `--system-libs` from llvm-config,
so that this will include libz and other dependencies for
statically linking LLD
A general-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.

License
The ultimate goal of the Zig project is to serve users. As a first-order effect, this means users of the compiler, helping programmers to write better software. Even more important, however, are the end-users.
Zig is intended to be used to help end-users accomplish their goals. Zig should be used to empower end-users, never to exploit them financially, or to limit their freedom to interact with hardware or software in any way.
However, such problems are best solved with social norms, not with software licenses. Any attempt to complicate the software license of Zig would risk compromising the value Zig provides.
Therefore, Zig is available under the MIT (Expat) License, and comes with a humble request: use it to make software better serve the needs of end-users.
This project redistributes code from other projects, some of which have other licenses besides MIT. Such licenses are generally similar to the MIT license for practical purposes. See the subdirectories and files inside lib/ for more details.
