Here's an RFC with patch on documentation explaining the how and why of splitting up tests in the testsuite. Effectively: "Why we don’t emit assembly in the clang testsuite”. It largely elaborates on things already in the developer documentation, but provides a (hopefully) useful example and answers a few questions I've gotten a lot over the years. I wrote this a while back after having to explain for the Nth time why we split things up :)

I've added a few people that probably care about this sort of thing to the review line.

This patch:

- Adds a link to a testing philosophy document in the developer documentation.
- Creates a set of explanatory text in another file explaining our philosophy.
