Cancel builtin llvm and clang support when LLVM version is less than
3.9.0: following commits uses newer API.
Since Clang/LLVM's API is not guaranteed to be stable, add a
test-llvm-version.cpp feature checker, issue warning if LLVM found in
compiling environment is not tested yet.
Committer Notes:
Testing it:
Environment:
$ cat /etc/fedora-release
Fedora release 25 (Twenty Five)
$ rpm -q llvm-devel clang-devel
llvm-devel-3.8.0-1.fc25.x86_64
clang-devel-3.8.0-2.fc25.x86_64
$
Before:
$ make -k LIBCLANGLLVM=1 O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf install-bin
make: Entering directory '/home/acme/git/linux/tools/perf'
BUILD: Doing 'make -j4' parallel build
Warning: tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h differs from kernel
Warning: tools/arch/arm/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h differs from kernel

<SNIP>
After:
Makefile.config:807: No suitable libLLVM found, disabling builtin clang and llvm support. Please install llvm-dev(el) (>= 3.9.0)
Updating the environment to a locally built LLVM 4.0 + clang 3.9 (forgot
to git pull, duh) combo, all works as expected, it is properly detected
and built into the resulting perf binary.

[ Change the warning message a bit (add 'suitable' and 'builtin'), clarifying it, see committer notes above ]
