This patch series introduces a test framework to run selftests for
target builds of Clang, LLVM, and LLD.

v6 changes:
- Removed the workaround for the llvm-confid to fix Rust build failure
  as it is no longer required.
  https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/?id=8aace29b692a8f3902a675fb4c022c223ba49531
- Removed CLANG_ENABLE_TESTSUITE = "1" from the meta-selftest layer,
  as it caused the check-layer script to fail. Test suite enabling is
  now handled directly within the test suite script.
- x86-32 bit testing for llvm-module is no longer broken.

v5 changes:
- Fix intermittent failure seen for arm64.

v4 changes:
- Fix intermittent failures.

v3 changes:
- llvm_sysroot_preprocess_testsuite function needs be added to
  llvm:class-target not llvm:class-nativesdk.

v2 changes:
- Enable required CMake flags only when running the testsuite.
- Ensure default build time and package sizes remain unaffected.

Summary of changes:
-Patch 1: Disable clang-tools-extra tests, as Clang's CMake cannot
          detect the llvm-bcanalyzer target.
-Patch 2: Enabled the necessary CMake flags for clang, llvm & lld tests
          when CLANG_ENABLE_TESTSUITE is set to "1".
-Patch 3: Selftest script for Clang, LLVM, and LLD including exclude list

Testing:
1. The test suite has been successfully validated on x86-64, x86, arm64,
   riscv64 and arm32 for all Clang, LLD & LLVM components.
2. Clang, LLVM & LLD all together ~80K tests are there and we currently
   ~250 tests to exclude list which are failing (0.32%).

Impact on build time:
These builds were executed in a controlled environment without poky-sstate
enabled.

Default(without changes):
+-----------+------------+------------+------------+----------------+
|  Target   | Run 1      | Run 2      | Run 3      |    Average     |
| --------- | ---------- | ---------- | ---------- | -------------- |
|   llvm    | 22m18.441s | 22m31.905s | 22m23.718s |   22m24.688s   |
|   clang   | 30m09.774s | 30m22.680s | 30m15.312s |   30m15.922s   |

+-----------+------------+------------+------------+----------------+

With the testsuite changes applied:
+-----------+------------+------------+------------+----------------+
|  Target   | Run 1      | Run 2      | Run 3      |    Average     |
| --------- | ---------- | ---------- | ---------- | -------------- |
|   llvm    | 23m32.104s | 23m45.887s | 23m38.157s |   23m38.716s   |
|   clang   | 30m31.402s | 30m46.198s | 30m39.445s |   30m39.015s   |
|   lld     | 1m29.845s  | 1m34.212s  | 1m31.925s  |   1m31.994s    |
+-----------+------------+------------+------------+----------------+

Comparison:
The additional overhead is minimal and primarily due to enabling
test-related build configurations.

Impact on package size and Fix:
The testsuite changes has a negative impact on certain package sizes,
as below:
+---------------------+----------+----------+-----------+------------+

+=====================+==========+==========+===========+============+

| llvm/llvm-src       |   387.54 |   389.44 |     +1.90 |     +0.49% |
| llvm/llvm-staticdev |   609.68 |   616.80 |     +7.12 |     +1.17% |
+---------------------+----------+----------+-----------+------------+

FIX:
All testsuite-related changes are now gated by the CLANG_ENABLE_TESTSUITE
variable (default "0"), ensuring:
- Test-specific CMake flags are applied only during test execution.
- Standard builds remain fully unaffected in both build time and package size.

Deepesh Varatharajan (3):
  clang-tools-extra: disable tests
  clang: Enable cmake flags for llvm, clang, lld tests
