Get codebase completely working with LLVM

You can now build Cosmopolitan with Clang:

    make -j8 MODE=llvm
    o/llvm/examples/hello.com

The assembler and linker code is now friendly to LLVM too.
So it's not needed to configure Clang to use binutils under
the hood. If you love LLVM then you can now use pure LLVM.

[Cosmopolitan Libc](https://justine.lol/cosmopolitan/index.html) makes C
a build-once run-anywhere language, like Java, except it doesn't need an
interpreter or virtual machine. Instead, it reconfigures stock GCC to
output a POSIX-approved polyglot format that runs natively on Linux +
Mac + Windows + FreeBSD + OpenBSD + NetBSD + BIOS with the best possible
performance and the tiniest footprint imaginable.

## Getting Started
Cosmopolitan can be compiled from source on any Linux distro.
If you're doing your development work on Linux or BSD then you need just
five files to get started:
```sh
wget https://justine.lol/cosmopolitan/cosmopolitan-amalgamation-0.1.2.zip
unzip cosmopolitan-amalgamated-0.1.2.zip
echo 'main() { printf("hello world\n"); }' >hello.c
gcc -g -O -static -nostdlib -nostdinc -fno-pie -no-pie -mno-red-zone \
-o hello.com.dbg hello.c -fuse-ld=bfd -Wl,-T,ape.lds \
-include cosmopolitan.h crt.o ape.o cosmopolitan.a
objcopy -S -O binary hello.com.dbg hello.com
./hello.com
```
If you're developing on Windows or MacOS then you need to download an
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu toolchain beforehand. See the [Compiling on
Windows](https://justine.lol/cosmopolitan/windows-compiling.html)
tutorial. It's needed because the ELF object format is what makes
universal binaries possible.
Cosmopolitan can also be compiled from source on any Linux distro.
```sh
wget https://justine.lol/cosmopolitan/cosmopolitan-0.1.2.tar.gz
tar xf cosmopolitan-0.1.2.tar.gz # see releases page
cd cosmopolitan-0.1.2
make -j16
o//examples/hello.com
find o -name \*.com | xargs ls -rShal | less
```
Alternatively you can use the release binaries:
```sh
unzip cosmopolitan-amalgamated-0.1.2.zip # see releases page
echo 'main() { printf("hello world\n"); }' >hello.c
gcc -g -O -static -fno-pie -no-pie -mno-red-zone -nostdlib -nostdinc \
-o hello.com.dbg hello.c -Wl,--gc-sections -Wl,-z,max-page-size=0x1000 -fuse-ld=bfd \
-Wl,-T,ape.lds -include cosmopolitan.h crt.o ape.o cosmopolitan.a
objcopy -SO binary hello.com.dbg hello.com
./hello.com
```
