Joseph Huber 632fa3798c [libc] Enable running libc unit tests on AMDGPU
The previous patches added the necessary support for global constructors
used to register tests. This patch enables the AMDGPU target to build
and run the unit tests on the GPU. Currently this only tests the `ctype`
tests, but adding more should be straightforward from here on.

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.
