The goal of the snapshot bots is to produce binaries which can run in as many
locations as possible. Currently we build on Centos 6 for this reason, but with
LLVM's update to C++11, this reduces the number of platforms that we could
possibly run on.
This adds a --enable-llvm-static-stdcpp option to the ./configure script for
Rust which will enable building a librustc with a static dependence on
libstdc++. This normally isn't necessary, but this option can be used on the
snapshot builders in order to continue to make binaries which should be able to
run in as many locations as possible.
In a multi-host build the mklldeps.py tool is getting called before
all the llvm-configs are built. I am not actually sure the cause. I
had convinced myself that DEF_LLVM_RULES needed to be called before
the llvmdeps.rs rule, but now looking at it again I can't see why.
In order to keep up to date with changes to the libraries that `llvm-config`
spits out, the dependencies to the LLVM are a dynamically generated rust file.
This file is now automatically updated whenever LLVM is updated to get kept
up-to-date.
At the same time, this cleans out some old cruft which isn't necessary in the
makefiles in terms of dependencies.

The main one removed is rust_upcall_reset_stack_limit (continuation of #10156),
and this also removes the upcall_trace function. The was hidden behind a
`-Z trace` flag, but if you attempt to use this now you'll get a linker error
because there is no implementation of the 'upcall_trace' function. Due to this
no longer working, I decided to remove it entirely from the compiler (I'm also a
little unsure on what it did in the first place).
This works by adding this directory to GCC include search path before mingw system headers directories,
so we can intercept their inclusions and add missing definitions without having to modify files in mingw/include.
