Overhauled llvm/clang docs builds. Closes PR6613.
NOTE: 2nd part changeset for cfe trunk to follow.
*** PRE-PATCH ISSUES ADDRESSED
- clang api docs fail build from objdir
- clang/llvm api docs collide in install PREFIX/
- clang/llvm main docs collide in install
- clang/llvm main docs have full of hard coded destination
assumptions and make use of absolute root in static html files;
namely CommandGuide tools hard codes a website destination
for cross references and some html cross references assume
website root paths
*** IMPROVEMENTS
- bumped Doxygen from 1.4.x -> 1.6.3
- splits llvm/clang docs into 'main' and 'api' (doxygen) build trees
- provide consistent, reliable doc builds for both main+api docs
- support buid vs. install vs. website intentions
- support objdir builds
- document targets with 'make help'
- correct clean and uninstall operations
- use recursive dir delete only where absolutely necessary
- added call function fn.RMRF which safeguards against botched 'rm -rf';
if any target (or any variable is evaluated) which attempts
to remove any dirs which match a hard-coded 'safelist', a verbose
error will be printed and make will error-stop.

This script automatically instruments a program, runs it with the JIT, +then runs B<llvm-prof> to format a report. To get more information about +F<utils/profile.pl>, execute it with the B<-help> option. + +=head1 OPTIONS + +=over + +=item B<--annotated-llvm> or B<-A> + +In addition to the normal report printed, print out the code for the +program, annotated with execution frequency information.
