Subject: [PATCH] [clang][docs] Improve "Obtaining Clang" section

The documentation is written relatively to
`clang-llvm`, not the root repository directory.
Therefore, the `llvm-project` repo needs to be
cloned into the existing directory `clang-llvm`.
As cloning into an existing directory is only
allowed if the directory is empty, I added
`mkdir ~/clang-llvm` to make the intent of
creating an empty directory explicit.

 Next you need to obtain the CMake build system and Ninja build tool.
