`LLVM_DISTRIBUTION_COMPONENTS` now influences the llvm binary in the
normal cmake output directory when it is set. This allows for
distribution targets to only include tools they want in the llvm
binary. It must be done this way because only one target can be
associated with a specific output name.

As reported in [1], cxx-headers is not a valid distribution target
because it is an interface target in CMake. This breaks the most
basic MultiDistributionExample of the runtimes build.
This patch handles interface targets by getting rid of the assumption
that all distribution components have a target associated to them. It
is valid for a distribution component to only have a `install-FOO`
target.
In the case where only `cxx-headers` is provided as a distribution
component, `ninja toolchain-distribution` will not build anything
after this patch, since there is effectively nothing to build for
the `cxx-headers` target. However, running `ninja install-toolchain-distribution`
will build everything, as expected.

We've found that there are cases where it's useful to be able to include
the same target in multiple distributions (e.g. if you want a
distribution that's a superset of another distribution, for convenience
purposes), and that there are cases where the distribution of a target
and its umbrella can legitimately differ (e.g. the LTO library would
commonly be distributed alongside your tools, but it also falls under
the llvm-libraries umbrella, which would commonly be distributed
separately). Relax the restrictions while providing an option to restore
them (which is mostly useful to ensure you aren't accidentally placing
targets in the wrong distributions).
There could be further refinements here (e.g. excluding a target from an
umbrella if it's explicitly included in some other distribution, or
having variables to control which targets are allowed to be duplicated
or placed in a separate distribution than their umbrellas), but we can
punt on those until there's an actual need.
LLVM's build system contains support for configuring a distribution, but
it can often be useful to be able to configure multiple distributions
(e.g. if you want separate distributions for the tools and the
libraries). Add this support to the build system, along with
documentation and usage examples.

This extracts the LLVM distribution target handling into a support module.
Extraction will enable us to restructure the builds to support multiple
distribution configurations (e.g. developer and user) to permit us to build the
development package and the user package at once.
