[DTLTO][LLVM] Integrated Distributed ThinLTO (DTLTO) (#127749)
This patch adds initial support for Integrated Distributed ThinLTO
(DTLTO) in LLVM, which manages distribution internally during the
traditional link step. This enables compatibility with any build
system that supports in-process ThinLTO. In contrast, existing
approaches to distributed ThinLTO, which split the thin-link
(--thinlto-index-only), backend compilation, and final link into
separate steps, require build system support, e.g. Bazel.

This patch implements the core DTLTO mechanism, which enables
delegation of ThinLTO backend jobs to an external process (the
distributor). The distributor can then manage job distribution through
systems like Incredibuild. A generic JSON interface is used to
communicate with the distributor, allowing for the creation of new
distributors (and thus integration with different distribution
systems) without modifying LLVM.

Please see llvm/docs/dtlto.rst for more details.

"""
DTLTO JSON Validator.
This script is used for DTLTO testing to check that the distributor has
been invoked correctly.
Usage:
python validate.py <json_file>
Arguments:
- <json_file> : JSON file describing the DTLTO jobs.
The script does the following:
1. Prints the supplied distributor arguments.
2. Loads the JSON file.
3. Pretty prints the JSON.
4. Validates the structure and required fields.
