Previously we used the executables built the LLVM project but these
executables are difficult to run in a CI environment, they can
accidentally pollute global state, etc. In testing some of the possible
4-core machine environments for Azure this step would frequently cause
issues.
To assuage these future issues and hopefully make builds slightly more
self-contained, this commit changes to install from a tarball instead.
The tarball isn't provided by LLVM itself, but we use the offical LLVM
installer to extract itself and then we pack up the LLVM installation
directory into the tarball.
There is known issue where PowerShell is unreasonably slow downloading
files due to an issue with rendering the progress bar, see:
https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues/2138
That issue is fixed in PowerShell Core (available in Azure Pipelines as
pwsh.exe) but it can also be worked around by setting:
$ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue'
This commit is intended to go through and review/refactor the azure
pipelines configuration we have. The major changes are:
* The separate `{windows,macos,linux}.yml` files are now all merged into
one `run.yml`. This allows a shared "master flow" for all platforms
with divergence only where necessary.
* Some install steps have been separated as `install-*.yml` scripts,
where each script internally matches on the appropriate OS and then
delegates accordingly.
* Some various bits and pieces of cruft have been removed which were
artifacts of Travis's setup or similar.
