The .yaml files should live next to the corresponding .h.def
files in libc/include/, rather than next to the implementation of
the tool in libc/utils/hdrgen/. As with the .h.def files, there
is no need for a yaml/ subdirectory under include/. This simpler
layout is more natural for maintenance and also simplifies build
integration outside the LLVM CMake build.
Thanks to the effort of @RoseZhang03 and @aaryanshukla under the
guidance of
@michaelrj-google and @amykhuang, we now have newhdrgen and no longer
have a
dependency on TableGen and thus LLVM in order to start bootstrapping a
full
build.
This PR removes:
- LIBC_HDRGEN_EXE; the in tree newhdrgen is the only hdrgen that can be
used.
- LIBC_USE_NEW_HEADER_GEN; newhdrgen is the default and only option.
- LIBC_HDRGEN_ONLY; there is no need to have a distinct build step for
old
hdrgen.
- libc-api-test and libc-api-test-tidy build targets.
- Deletes all .td files.
It does not rename newhdrgen to just hdrgen. Will follow up with a
distinct PR
for that.

Since new headergen is now the default for building LLVM-libc, the docs
need to be updated to reflect that. While I was editing those docs, I
took a quick pass at updating other out-of-date pages.
Some of the files in the docs/ directory are from 2019 and haven't been
updated since. This patch updates implementation_standard.rst,
source_tree_layout.rst, and has some minor fixes for strings.rst. It
also marks the most severely out of date files with a warning. These
files will be updated in a later patch.
