[cfe-dev] Disallow rtti

[Andreas Bergmeier via cfe-dev]

Exactly that.
So will have no RTTI, no dynamic_cast, no thread_local, no exceptions, no
new, no libc++
Just a very stripped down version of C++ (is there any other similar,
stripped down toolchain!?).
Still trying to find, how I can have the code fail when attempting rtti.
Seems like there is no such capability via the Driver interface.
