Adding llvm-shlib to CMake build system with a few new bells and whistles

Summary:
This patch adds a new CMake build setting LLVM_BUILD_LLVM_DYLIB, which defaults to OFF. When set to ON, this will generate a shared library containing most of LLVM. The contents of the shared library can be overriden by specifying LLVM_DYLIB_COMPONENTS. LLVM_DYLIB_COMPONENTS can be set to a semi-colon delimited list of any LLVM components that you llvm-config can resolve.

On Windows, unless you are using Cygwin, you must specify an explicit symbol export file using LLVM_EXPORTED_SYMBOL_FILE. On Cygwin and all unix-like platforms if you do not specify LLVM_EXPORTED_SYMBOL_FILE, an export file containing only the LLVM C API will be auto-generated from the list of LLVM components specified in LLVM_DYLIB_COMPONENTS.
