[LLVMdev] C++ demangler for llvm tools

[Sumanth Gundapaneni]

What if I resurrect that version and keep it in lib/Support ?
I think I already have that specific version of demangler.

This has come up before.  The best candidate is likely not the demangler in libcxxabi, but the demangler that used to be in libcxxabi but was determined to be too heavy.  This demangler was designed to be flexible and useful in a much wider context.
