Tiezhu Yang 628add78b0 bpf, docs: Update build procedure for manually compiling LLVM and Clang
The current LLVM and Clang build procedure in samples/bpf/README.rst is
out of date. See below that the links are not accessible any more.

  $ git clone http://llvm.org/git/llvm.git
  Cloning into 'llvm'...
  fatal: unable to access 'http://llvm.org/git/llvm.git/': Maximum (20) redirects followed
  $ git clone --depth 1 http://llvm.org/git/clang.git
  Cloning into 'clang'...
  fatal: unable to access 'http://llvm.org/git/clang.git/': Maximum (20) redirects followed

The LLVM community has adopted new ways to build the compiler. There are
different ways to build LLVM and Clang, the Clang Getting Started page [1]
has one way. As Yonghong said, it is better to copy the build procedure
in Documentation/bpf/bpf_devel_QA.rst to keep consistent.

I verified the procedure and it is proved to be feasible, so we should
update README.rst to reflect the reality. At the same time, update the
related comment in Makefile.

Additionally, as Fangrui said, the dir llvm-project/llvm/build/install is
not used, BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF is the default option [2], so also change
Documentation/bpf/bpf_devel_QA.rst together.

At last, we recommend that developers who want the fastest incremental
builds use the Ninja build system [1], you can find it in your system's
package manager, usually the package is ninja or ninja-build [3], so add
ninja to build dependencies suggested by Nathan.
