[LLVMdev] Deprecating autoconf/make?

[Redmond, Paul]

Yes please.

On the practical side, our internal CI does cmake/autoconf x debug/release
x gcc/clang (on linux). Cutting out autoconf reduces the number of
combinations per build from 8 to 4. This probably doesn't matter to most
people but it would be great for us.
