[clang][Driver] Add a custom error option in multilib.yaml. (#105684)
Sometimes a collection of multilibs has a gap in it, where a set of
driver command-line options can't work with any of the available
libraries.
For example, the Arm MVE extension requires special startup code (you
need to initialize FPSCR.LTPSIZE), and also benefits greatly from
-mfloat-abi=hard. So a multilib provider might build a library for
systems without MVE, and another for MVE with -mfloat-abi=hard,
anticipating that that's what most MVE users would want. But then if a
user compiles for MVE _without_ -mfloat-abi=hard, thhey can't use either
of those libraries – one has an ABI mismatch, and the other will fail to
set up LTPSIZE.
In that situation, it's useful to include a multilib.yaml entry for the
unworkable intermediate situation, and have it map to a fatal error
message rather than a set of actual libraries. Then the user gets a
build failure with a sensible explanation, instead of selecting an
unworkable library and silently generating bad output. The new
regression test demonstrates this case.
This patch introduces extra syntax into multilib.yaml, so that a record
in the `Variants` list can omit the `Dir` key, and in its place, provide
a `FatalError` key. Then, if that variant is selected, the error message
is emitted as a clang diagnostic, and multilib selection fails.
In order to emit the error message in `MultilibSet::select`, I had to
pass a `Driver &` to that function, which involved plumbing one through
to every call site, and in the unit tests, constructing one specially.
