Rust's build system is now set up to manage the LLVM build

correctly is a consistent obstacle for newcomers, and 2) we're going to
be carrying some patches to LLVM for a while to support split stacks. So
now the build process is just ./configure && make. Nice. For those who
still want to use their own LLVM configure provides an --llvm-root option.

Awesome, thanks. Submodules seem to be the best-of-the-bad ways of doing this sort of thing, I'm glad to see everyone's comfortable enough with them to move this way. I wasn't sure. So many years of wrestling the problem...

(Next up, libicu submodule? Hmm)
