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`.
I added `mkdir ~/clang-llvm` to make the intent
of creating an empty directory explicit.
Furthermore, additional steps have been modified
accordingly.
