Add a build-system for compiler-rt. Compiler-rt is the runtime library of LLVM and sometimes we need to resolve library calls to it. There are two moments were we need to handle library calls to compiler-rt. 1. `sys.so` or any other Julia code compiled into shlibs. In this case we perform static linking, as with other runtime libraries. 2. JIT time. When we compile a Julia function that uses a libcall to crt we need to resolve that against a shlib copy of compiler-rt. Compiler-rt is usually only distributed as a static library, so we provide a step to turn the static library into a shared one. The buildsystem of compiler-rt is tightly tied to LLVM. Because of this we have a staged build-script that builds compiler-rt from source. This standalone version should only be used for Julia.
