Applied. Thanks!

Now that it supports testing (which, BTW, is not documented yet on
CMake.html) cmake support is, in principle, as mature as the
autoconfig/makefile system.

If it is not linked from index.html is due to my own laziness, and the
fact that the plan was to link it when the hand-made Visual Studio
project files were deleted. This never happened and it is unlikely to
happen on a near future.

I propose to remove the old and possibly obsolete Getting Started guide
for Visual Studio users (GettingStartedVS.html) and then reference
CMake.html from index.html indicating that it is a general way of
building LLVM and the only way for some toolsets (i.e. Visual Studio,
etc).

The people who use the hand-made Visual Studio or XCode projects already
know how to handle them.
