[llvm-dev] Removing LLVM testing tools from the install distribution

[David Blaikie via llvm-dev]

A new one was just added recently - Clang's diagtool. So if you're looking
at how to reduce install size, might want to double check that the
motivation for adding that is consistent with/not contradictory with your
goals/motivations for removing these.

(also since several of these are clang binaries/tools - maybe check with
the cfe-dev list too)
