[llvm-dev] Removing LLVM testing tools from the install distribution

[Vedant Kumar via llvm-dev]

Should the binaries included in an LLVM release be generally useful to a wide audience of toolchain users, or is it OK to ship tools that are only really useful for LLVM development?

If the former is the case, can we consider not shipping tools which are exclusively for testing the compiler? E.g removing these 5 binaries from 5.0.2-rc1 would have saved over a hundred megabytes in uncompressed space for macOS users:

Binary name | Size in megabytes
--------------------------------------------
clang-check: 54.6725
llvm-c-test: 33.8384
clang-import-test: 20.6708
c-index-test: 19.8632
verify-uselistorder: 2.84348
