Wrap `llvm_unreachable` macro in do-while loop

Macros that expand into multiple terms can cause interesting preprocessor hickups depending
on the context they are used in. https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/56867 reported
a miscompilation of `llvm_unreachable(msg)` inside a `LLVM_DEBUG({ ... })` block. We were
able to fix it by wrapping the expansion in a `do {} while(false)`.

[Support] Change fatal_error_handler_t to take a const char* instead of std::string

https://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-clang/llvm-include-analysis.html

Excessive use of the <string> header has a massive impact on compile time; its most commonly included via the ErrorHandling.h header, which has to be included in many key headers, impacting many source files that have no need for std::string.

As an initial step toward removing the <string> include from ErrorHandling.h, this patch proposes to update the fatal_error_handler_t handler to just take a raw const char* instead.

The next step will be to remove the report_fatal_error std::string variant, which will involve a lot of cleanup and better use of Twine/StringRef.

Improve error handling for SmallVector programming errors

This patch changes errors in `SmallVector::grow` that are independent of
memory capacity to be reported using report_fatal_error or
std::length_error instead of report_bad_alloc_error, which falsely signals
an OOM.

It also cleans up a few related things:
- makes report_bad_alloc_error to print the failure reason passed
to it.
- fixes the documentation to indicate that report_bad_alloc_error
calls `abort()` not "an assertion"
- uses a consistent name for the size/capacity argument to `grow`
and `grow_pod`

Add LLVM_ATTRIBUTE_NORETURN to report_bad_alloc_error

Summary:
The attribute just means that there will be no regular return, it still
leaves room for exceptions to be thrown. It is easily verified: there
are no direct returns and the last statement is either a throw or a call
to abort.

Having the annotation helps static analyzers with this code from
Support/MemAlloc.h (slightly simplified):

LLVM_ATTRIBUTE_RETURNS_NONNULL inline void *safe_malloc(size_t Sz) {
void *Result = std::malloc(Sz);
if (Result == nullptr)
report_bad_alloc_error("Allocation failed");
return Result;
}

Were report_bad_alloc_error to return regularly, the function would
return nullptr, contradicting the attribute.

Previously, since bots turning on EXPENSIVE_CHECKS are essentially turning on
MachineVerifierPass by default on X86 and the fact that
inline-asm-avx-v-constraint-32bit.ll and inline-asm-avx512vl-v-constraint-32bit.ll
are not expected to generate functioning machine code, this would go
down to `report_fatal_error` in MachineVerifierPass. Here passing

[Support] make report_fatal_error `abort` instead of `exit`

Summary:
This patch could be treated as a rebase of D33960. It also fixes PR35547.
A fix for `llvm/test/Other/close-stderr.ll` is proposed in D68164. Seems
the consensus is that the test is passing by chance and I'm not
sure how important it is for us. So it is removed like in D33960 for now.
The rest of the test fixes are just adding `--crash` flag to `not` tool.

** The reason it fixes PR35547 is

`exit` does cleanup including calling class destructor whereas `abort`
does not do any cleanup. In multithreading environment such as ThinLTO or JIT,
threads may share states which mostly are ManagedStatic<>. If faulting thread
tearing down a class when another thread is using it, there are chances of
memory corruption. This is bad 1. It will stop error reporting like pretty
stack printer; 2. The memory corruption is distracting and nondeterministic in
terms of error message, and corruption type (depending one the timing, it
could be double free, heap free after use, etc.).

Update the file headers across all of the LLVM projects in the monorepo

We understand that people may be surprised that we're moving the header
entirely to discuss the new license. We checked this carefully with the
Foundation's lawyer and we believe this is the correct approach.

Essentially, all code in the project is now made available by the LLVM
project under our new license, so you will see that the license headers
include that license only. Some of our contributors have contributed
code under our old license, and accordingly, we have retained a copy of
our old license notice in the top-level files in each project and

Report fatal error in the case of out of memory

This is partial recommit of r325224, reverted in 325227. The relevant
part of original comment is below.

Analysis of fails in the case of out of memory errors can be tricky on
Windows. Such error emerges at the point where memory allocation function
fails, but manifests itself when null pointer is used. These two points
may be distant from each other. Besides, next runs may not exhibit
allocation error.

Usual programming practice does not require checking result of 'operator
new' because it throws 'std::bad_alloc' in the case of allocation error.
However, LLVM is usually built with exceptions turned off, so 'new' can
return null pointer. This change installs custom new handler, which causes
fatal error in the case of out of memory. The handler is installed
automatically prior to call to 'main' during construction of a static
object defined in 'lib/Support/ErrorHandling.cpp'. If the application does
not use this file, the handler may be installed manually by a call to
'llvm::install_out_of_memory_new_handler', declared in
'include/llvm/Support/ErrorHandling.h".

There are calls to C allocation functions, malloc, calloc and realloc.
They are used for interoperability with C code, when allocated object has
variable size and when it is necessary to avoid call of constructors. In
many calls the result is not checked against null pointer. To simplify
checks, new functions are defined in the namespace 'llvm' with the
same names as these C function. These functions produce fatal error if
allocation fails. User should use 'llvm::malloc' instead of 'std::malloc'
in order to use the safe variant. This change replaces 'std::malloc'
in the cases when the result of allocation function is not checked against
null pointer.

Finally, there are plain C code, that uses malloc and similar functions. If
the result is not checked, assert statements are added.

[Support] - Add bad alloc error handler for handling allocation malfunctions

Summary:
Patch by Klaus Kretzschmar

We would like to introduce a new type of llvm error handler for handling
bad alloc fault situations. LLVM already provides a fatal error handler
for serious non-recoverable error situations which by default writes
some error information to stderr and calls exit(1) at the end (functions
are marked as 'noreturn').

For long running processes (e.g. a server application), exiting the
process is not an acceptable option, especially not when the system is
in a temporary resource bottleneck with a good chance to recover from
this fault situation. In such a situation you would rather throw an
exception to stop the current compilation and try to overcome the
resource bottleneck. The user should be aware of the problem of throwing
an exception in bad alloc situations, e.g. you must not do any
allocations in the unwind chain. This is especially true when adding
exceptions in existing unfamiliar code (as already stated in the comment
of the current fatal error handler)

So the new handler can also be used to distinguish from general fatal
error situations where recovering is no option. It should be used in
cases where a clean unwind after the allocation is guaranteed.

This patch contains:
- A report_bad_alloc function which calls a user defined bad alloc
error handler. If no user handler is registered the
report_fatal_error function is called. This function is not marked as
'noreturn'.
- A install/restore_bad_alloc_error_handler to install/restore the bad
alloc handler.
- An example (in Mutex.cpp) where the report_bad_alloc function is
called in case of a malloc returns a nullptr.

If this patch gets accepted we would create similar patches to fix
corresponding malloc/calloc usages in the llvm code.
