1375168 - make llvm-config check also check ~/.mozbuild/ location chosen by `mach bootstrap`

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Nathan Froyd [:froydnj]]

We need to do this so most users will not have to add anything special to their mozconfig once they have run `mach bootstrap`: the build system will detect the installed bits automatically.

Attachment: check for llvm-config where `mach bootstrap` would install it

For ease of use, we want to make checks for llvm-config automatically
examine the directory where `mach bootstrap` would install things, so
users don't necessarily have to have a mozconfig when building stylo.
Since the computation of this value is non-trivial, we pull out the
whole list of possible names for llvm-config into a @depends function,
and insert the computed value into that list when necessary.
