Bug 1467897 Allow local runs of build-clang by providing a --base-dir option

Currently, build-clang.py hardcodes a path that's used in our Docker workers. If we make that path configurable; then users who are patching the compiler can run build-clang.py locally (if they specify a json file that uses local paths.)

This has no effect on windows because of the if is_windows() block below.

But actually, the is_windows() case seems about the right default for what to do locally, just ensure the directory doesn't exist first before doing anything that might overwrite existing files.

So, here's what I think would be nicer:
- when MOZ_AUTOMATION is set, default to '/builds/worker/....' on `not is_windows()`.
- otherwise, default to cwd + llvm-sources, or maybe change llvm-sources to build-clang or something.
- check that the directory that is picked does not exist.
- If it does, error out and tell the user to pass a base dir on the command line.

Hm. So we want to allow the user to work with existing directories; so they don't need to re-checkout the source trees everytime. So we can't just error if the existing directory exists at all.  I changed it around to drop a .build-clang and use that as an indicator if we can reuse the directory.

type=str shouldn't be necessary.

os.path.exists(os.path.join(base_dir, '.build-clang'))
