Add patch to build_visit for llvm with llvm-5.0.0.

Describe the bug

Impact

[X] Medium - User productivity partially degraded

Likelihood

[X] Low - occurrence is specific to combination of multiple factors such as configuration, data, platform, etc.

Attachments

Here is the e-mail exchange with the error, which should provide the information required to make the patch.

Hi Andy,

I think the simplest fix is to just remove or comment out that line since it is just an assert and isn't critical to the software working properly. I will add a patch that removes that line to build_visit for either 3.1.0 or 3.1.1.

I'm trying to build VisIt 3.0.2 with the Intel 2019.5, but I get the following error when the build script builds llvm-5.0.0:

/home/andrew/visit_build_scripts/3.0.2/llvm-5.0.0.src/lib/IR/Attributes.cpp(813): error: expression must have a constant value static_assert(attrIdxToArrayIdx(AttributeList::FunctionIndex) == 0U, ^ /home/andrew/visit_build_scripts/3.0.2/llvm-5.0.0.src/lib/IR/Attributes.cpp(798): note: value exceeds range of "int" return static_cast(Index) + 1; ^ compilation aborted for /home/andrew/visit_build_scripts/3.0.2/llvm-5.0.0.src/lib/IR/Attributes.cpp (code 2)

Can anyone advise how to fix this?

Thanks, Andy.
