[cfe-dev] [PATCH] Tooling docs - structuring proposal

I'm working on documenting stuff around the general tooling efforts
that clang offers.
ind attached a crude first draft of where I want to start for people
who have no idea what they should look into.

The general structure I imagine is:
Tooling.html - basically the attached document, explaining what to use
when, linking to the other docs

ClangPlugins.html - tutorial on how to write a clang plugin,
eventually leading to FrontendAction.html
LibTooling.html - tutorial on how to write clang standalone tools,
also leading to FrontendAction.html
(LibClang.html would fit here, but I'm not in a position to write it ;)

FrontendAction.html - explains how to create your own FrontendAction
to use in a plugin or clang tool, possibly including the use of the
RAV (not sure whether we should split that out), linking to
ClangAST.html for reference

ClangAST.html - a more generic introduction to the Clang AST, what it
looks like on a high level, the basic nodes it's made up from, how to
dig into the docs etc

If nobody objects I'll just go on writing initial rough draft versions...

Thoughts?
