Siva Chandra Reddy db936e0e91 [libc][NFC] Add library of floating point test matchers.
This eliminates UnitTest's dependency on FPUtil and hence prevents
non-math tests from depending indirectly on FPUtil. The patch
essentially moves some of the existing pieces into a library of its own.

Along the way, renamed add_math_unittest to add_fp_unittest.

The LLVM libc unit test framework

This directory contains a lightweight implementation of a gtest like unit test framework for LLVM libc.

Why not gtest?

While gtest is great, featureful and time tested, it uses the C and C++ standard libraries. Hence, using it to test LLVM libc (which is also an implementation of the C standard libraries) causes various kinds of mixup/conflict problems.

How is it different from gtest?

LLVM libc's unit test framework is much less featureful as compared to gtest. But, what is available strives to be exactly like gtest.

Will it be made as featureful as gtest in future?

It is not clear if LLVM libc needs/will need every feature of gtest. We only intend to extend it on an as needed basis. Hence, it might never be as featureful as gtest.
