d34dce25d9 [Flang] Allow registering plugin extensions with the pass builder
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:

c3821b8d2a [flang] Add -fpass-plugin option to flang
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.

4d1460c77d Revert "[flang] Add -fpass-plugin option to Flang frontend"
This reverts commit 43fe6f7cc35ded691bbc2fa844086d321e705d46.

Reverting this as CI breaks.

To reproduce, run check-flang, and it will fail with an error saying

8df63a23d2 [flang] Support the color diagnostics on scanning, parsing, and semantics
The options -f{no-}color-diagnostics have been supported in driver. This
supports the behaviors in scanning, parsing, and semantics, and the
behaviors are exactly the same as the driver.

To illustrate the added behaviour, consider the following input file:
```! file.f90
program m
  integer :: i = k
end
```
In the following invocations, "error: Must be a constant value" _will be_
formatted:
```
$ flang-new file.f90
error: Semantic errors in file.f90
./file.f90:2:18: error: Must be a constant value
    integer :: i = k
```
Note that "error: Semantic errors in file.f90" is also formatted, which
is supported in https://reviews.llvm.org/D126164.

Also note that only "error", "warning" and "portability" are formatted.
Check the following input file:
```! file2.f90
program m
  integer :: i =
end
```
```
$ flang-new test2.f90
error: Could not parse test2.f90
./test2.f90:2:11: error: expected '('
    integer :: i =
            ^
./test2.f90:2:3: in the context: statement function definition
    integer :: i =
    ^
...
```
The "error: Could not parse test2.f90" and "error: expected '('" are
formatted. Others such as "in the context" are not formatted yet, which
may or may not be supported.

b405407a48 [clang][flang] Disable defaulting to -fpie for LLVM Flang
In, https://reviews.llvm.org/D120305, CLANG_DEFAULT_PIE_ON_LINUX was set
to `On` by default. However, neither `-fpie` nor `-fpic` are currently
supported in LLVM Flang. Hence, in this patch the behaviour controlled
with CLANG_DEFAULT_PIE_ON_LINUX is refined not to apply to Flang.

Another way to look at this is that CLANG_DEFAULT_PIE_ON_LINUX is
currently affecting both Clang and Flang. IIUC, the intention for this
CMake variable has always been to only affect Clang. This patch makes
sure that that's the case.

Without this change, you might see errors like this on X86_64:
```
/usr/bin/ld: main.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.bss' can not be used when making a PIE object; recompile with -fPIC
```
I've not experienced any issues on AArch64. That's probably because on
AArch64 some object files happen to be position independent without
needing -fpie or -fpic.

c2e3e91dde [flang][driver] Remove references to the flang bash script
This is a follow-up of https://reviews.llvm.org/D125832
(see also https://reviews.llvm.org/D125788 for more context). It simply
removes any remaining references to the `flang` bash script. Note that
that `flang-to-external-fc` remains intact.

This felt worthwhile mentioning in the release notes, which have not
been updated since LLVM 12 (we are approaching LLVM 15 now). I took the
liberty of removing all of the out-dated content and added a note about
the renaming.
