Pass plugins are compiled and linked dynamically by default. Setting
`LLVM_${NAME}_LINK_INTO_TOOLS` to `ON` turns the project into a
statically linked extension. Projects like Polly can be used this way by
adding `-DLLVM_POLLY_LINK_INTO_TOOLS=ON` to the `cmake` command.
The changes in this patch makes the PassBuilder in Flang aware of
statically linked pass plugins, see the documentation for more details:

This patch adds the -fpass-plugin option to flang which dynamically loads LLVM
passes from the shared object passed as the argument to the flag. The behavior
of the option is designed to replicate that of the same option in clang and
thus has the same capabilities and limitations.
Features:
Multiple instances of -fpass-plugin=path-to-file can be specified and each
of the files will be loaded in that order.
The flag can be passed to both flang-new and flang-new -fc1.
The flag will be listed when the -help flag is passed to both flang-new and
flang-new -fc1. It will also be listed when the --help-hidden flag is passed.
Limitations:
Dynamically loaded plugins are not supported in clang on Windows and are not
supported in flang either.
Addenda:
Some minor stylistic changes are made in the files that were modified to
enable this functionality. Those changes make the naming of functions more
consistent, but do not change any functionality that is not directly
related to enabling -fpass-plugin.

This reverts commit 43fe6f7cc35ded691bbc2fa844086d321e705d46.
Reverting this as CI breaks.
To reproduce, run check-flang, and it will fail with an error saying
