Bug 1492663 upgraded those builds to clang 7, and bug 1503330 brought
them back to clang 6 because of speedometer regressions.
With the previous change, the regression doesn't happen any more,
allowing to upgrade again.

The cctools-port linker links against libraries from clang (for LTO),
which have different SONAMEs depending on the clang version. Which means
the linker needs to be used along the same version of clang it was built
against. Thus we also make it depend on linux64-clang-7.
But changing the dependency is not enough, cf. bug 1471905, so also
touch its build script, which it turns out, we need to do anyways
because llvm-dsymutil was renamed to dsymutil.
Relatedly, all toolchains that are built using cctools-port need to use
linux64-clang-7 too.
Building compiler-rt 7 with the OSX 10.11 SDK fails because of some
newer APIs being used in compiler-rt for xray, but this is not a feature
we use, so disable that.

With libLLVM being a shared library exporting many symbols, all internal
calls using those symbols default to go through the PLT, which is
unnecessary (and costly) overhead. Using -Bsymbolic-functions makes
internal calls go directly to the right place without going through the
PLT.

Doing so changes the size of the compressed toolchain archive from ~280M
to ~120M, and the decompressed size from ~1500M to ~675M. This will
reduce the overhead of decompression during builds.
As we ship llvm-symbolizer as part of ASan builds, we do need it to
still statically link against LLVM, which we do with a small patch.
With LLVM as a shared library, libLTO, which is used by cctools-port for
the linker, is dynamically linked to LLVM, and the cctools-port
configure script fails to link against libLTO. So we add a -rpath-link
to make it find the LLVM library. This happens to force a rebuild of
cctools-port, but for future cases where we might need a rebuild because
of some clang changes, we add a comment to ease the process, and avoid
a newer cctools-port taking the cache spot of an older one.
Ideally, mac cctools-port would need something similar, but it needs a
mac libLTO.dylib, which is not there anyways (and the mac cctools-port
thus already didn't support LTO).
Also, with LLVM built as a shared library, all its symbols are exported
with a LLVM_x.y version. Combined with -static-libstdc++ that is used
during the clang build, this causes problems (see
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1492037#c7). But it turns
out things have evolved since -static-libstdc++ has been added to the
clang build script, and things work without now, so remove it (as well
as -static-libgcc).

CCTools-port needs to be rebuilt in some cases of clang changes, which
this one of, so touch the script so that it happens.

As much as it's tempting to use LLD for LTO, it still causes some
subtle problems with the build, and it's still better to keep using
BFD ld for the time being. Doing so requires the gold plugin, which
only requires to pass cmake the directory where the binutils headers
are, and they are part of the gcc toolchain headers.

For some reason, clang 6 crashes with a stack overflow on PGO + LTO on
Linux 64 bits. Clang 7 doesn't, but has other problems.
After some bisecting, I found the following:
- r322684 is the first revision that is broken on the release_60 branch.
- that revision is a cherry pick of r322313 from trunk, which is
similarly broken.
- trunk was fixed by r322325, which, funnily enough, predates when
r322313 was cherry-picked.
While the change from r322325 is relatively large, mixing multiple
different changes in a single commit, there also haven't been
significant changes to the same file on trunk since (one macro name
change, one documentation change, and a change related to debug info),
which would tend to indicate the change is not going to break anything,
or at least not more than upgrading to clang 7 would.
The exact part that fixes the issue could probably be found in this
large commit, but I didn't feel like digging into it further considering
the above.
