Create a guide to build LLVM from source #1009

Open ekilmer opened 1 year ago

Rebuilding LLVM when vcpkg misses a cache is very annoying, especially when compiling both Debug and Release builds.

We should have a guide on how to build LLVM outside of vcpkg (while mirroring what vcpkg is doing) and use that build with a tool by specifying LLVM_DIR.
