Libxml2 is already an optional dependency. It should use the same
infrastructure as the other dependencies.

This is an attempt to feature the user-facing resources more
prominently on the LLDB website by calling out the tutorial and the
GDB command map wight on the start page.
I also moved the "Why a new debugger" section to the "Goals"
subpage. Given that LLDB's first release is almost a decade in the
past now, the title is a bit of an anachronism.
Lastly, I moved the Architecture sub-page from "use" to "resources",
since end-users do not care about the source code layout.

This adds a page about LLDB reproducers. It describes how to use the
reproducers on the command line and lists some of the known
issues/limitations.

This adds a page named Caveats with a section on some of the things to
be aware of related to Python. It's a question we've seen more than once
pop up and I think it's good to have it documentation on the website.
Even though some of it might be useful to users, I still put it under
"development" because it requires some understanding of how LLDB is
built.

This renames the "Goals & Status" section to "Project" and the
"Resources" section to "Development". To better match this layout I've
moved the releases page under "Project".
The page describing how to get the sources was more about contributing
to LLDB than getting the actual source. This patch moves some things
around and repurposes this page as a contributing to LLDB landing page.
CMake allows you to set a custom CXX compiler for the API test suite.
However, this variable is never used, because dotest uses the same
compiler to build C and CXX sources.
I'm not sure if this variable was added with the intention of supporting
a different compiler or if this is just a remnant of old functionality.
Given that this hasn't been working for a while, I assume it's safe to
remove.

The testing documentation appears to be from an era when the only kind
of tests were the lldbsuite python tests. This patch adds a short
description of the unittests and LIT tests and how to run them.

This patch removes the -q (quiet) flag and changing the default
behavior. Currently the flag serves two purposes that are somewhat
contradictory, as illustrated by the difference between the argument
name (quiet) and the configuration flag (parsable). On the one hand it
reduces output, but on the other hand it prints more output, like the
result of individual tests. My proposal is to guard the extra output
behind the verbose flag and always print the individual test results.

Given that LLDB_TEST_USE_CUSTOM_C_COMPILER and LLDB_TEST_C_COMPILER are
both set at configuration time, I don't really see the point of having
both. This patch simplifies things and uses the custom C/C++ compiler
when the variable is set, and uses the default one when it's not set.
The variable can be unset by passing -ULLDB_TEST_C_COMPILER to CMake.

Summary:
Print a warning if the wrong cache script is used when generating a Xcode project, because it's too easy to confuse with Apple-lldb-macOS.cmake
```
When building with Xcode, we recommend using the corresponding cache
script. If this was a mistake, clean your build directory and re-run
CMake with:
-C /path/to/llvm-project/lldb/cmake/caches/Apple-lldb-Xcode.cmake
See: https://lldb.llvm.org/resources/build.html#cmakegeneratedxcodeproject
```
Also set the generator inside the cache script.

Now that the Xcode project is removed, I want to focus on dotest as a
test framework, and remove its driver capabilities for which we already
rely on llvm's lit. Removing multiprocessing is the first step in that
direction.

The current build instructions are structured according the host
platform. Instead of having instructions on how to build with CMake
repeated for every platform, I unified them, using subsections if things
are different for between platforms. I also added the code signing
instructions, which were hidden in a text file in the repository.

Summary:
This updates all places in documentation that refer to "Mac OS X", "OS X", etc.
to instead use the modern name "macOS" when no specific version number is
mentioned.
If a specific version is mentioned, this attempts to use the OS name at the time
of that version:
* Mac OS X for 10.0 - 10.7
* OS X for 10.8 - 10.11
* macOS for 10.12 - present

This removes several older paragraphs in the LLDB build steps for Unix
systems which suggested checking out various components via SVN. Since
there's a separate page about getting the LLDB source which only
mentions Git, it seems appropriate to remove this older info from the
build docs.

This moves the links to the C++ and Python API docs up to the main page.
As of now the links are still broken [1], but at least this will prevent
the additional frustration of searching for the links only to find out
they're broken.
