Public bug reported:

## FFE ##

I'm filing this under llvm 22 due to a launchpad issue, but it applies
to llvm 23

[Rationale]

* Having LLVM 23 in Stonking would dramatically simplify some ongoing
work around the ROCm stack, and related packages. See, for example, the
comments in this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ucc/+bug/2166379

* Having the latest LLVM directly available in the archive is always a
good thing.

[ Scope ]

* The large majority of the package is entirely new binary packages, and
technically do not require an FFE.

* The remaining packages which do require the FFE are libc++1,
libc++abi1, libomp5, and llvm-libunwind1. These packages are backwards
compatible and having new versions of them means we get fixes and
improvements directly from upstream.

* This will not change the default version of LLVM in Stonking, which
remains 22

* > seeded-in-ubuntu llvm-toolchain-23
  The source package 'llvm-toolchain-23' status Superseded not in 
(Pending,Published) in stonking for pockets Release, Security, Updates, 
Proposed with status in Pending, Published

[ Regression Potential ]

* Regressions in the four common packages, listed above, are possible.
However, if they introduce regressions, those will be directly caused by
the upstream code. Since 23 is the currently maintained stable version,
any regressions are likely to be fixed more actively by upstream
directly.

[ Testing ]

* The autopkgtests for LLVM are thorough, and running them for this
package, and for llvm-toolchain-22 will help us identify any
regressions.

** Affects: llvm-toolchain-22 (Ubuntu)
