[PATCH][llvm-config] Print modules needed to build LLVM component

[Chandler Carruth via llvm-commits]

I don't think llvm-config is the right tool here.

llvm-config is primarily for inspecting the installation of LLVM, not the
internals of the build system structure. Those are essentially
implementation details.

I'm also not sure how compelling the motivation for this really is.
Incremental rebuild usually makes this kind of thing straight forward?
