Chandler Carruthandjosh11b da7533ae7f Update project to require Clang 16 or newer. (#3649)
This should also unblock our switch to C++20 and other improvements.

There are three core parts of the change --

1) Updating our infrastructure to fetch and find Clang-16.
2) Updating our documentation to reflect this and help folks with any
   system issues they encounter.

The infrastructure change is unfortunately tricky. We can't get Clang 16
easily on GitHub's runner images, and in the past we've had persistent
problems with flakiness when our actions download this much during their
runs. Due to the flakiness, we've previously removed all downloading of
dependencies outside of Bazel itself, and added retry loops around Bazel
specifically to overcome flaky downloads.

This change tries to address these problems by populating the Clang and
LLVM toolchain in a place that we can then cache using the built-in
GitHub action caching infrastructure. This seems like by far the least
likely to flake way of downloading extra things into our runs. And since
these are relatively slow moving dependencies, we should populate this
cache very, very rarely.

For Linux, this downloads the binary release artifact from GitHub,
prunes out large parts of it that we don't need, and then caches this as
a local toolchain. This proves both small and fast.

For macOS, this uses a trick to cache the destination of Homebrew
installs. It unfortunately caches the *entire* Homebrew installation
though, and so it also goes to some lengths to prune and minimize how
much is installed from Homebrew. The result is "only" a 2gb cache image.
Because of the size and slower download and filesystem, the macOS runs
see a 1 - 2 minute slowdown.

We might extend the Linux infrastructure here usefully if we want to
test multiple LLVM versions. We might also extend the macOS version to
get a cheaper way to prune parts of the system and free up disk space,
or to cache other Homebrew installed tools if needed.

Last but not least, this brought to the forefront an issue with our C++
toolchain integration which relied on a specific CMake build option
being set in the LLVM toolchain install. This option isn't used in the
official release artifacts. Instead, switch to a more robust approach to
linking libc++abi statically that shouldn't have these problems.

Beyond the infrastructure changes, this also updates the documentation
to reflect requiring Clang 16 or newer, and adds some extra tips for
folks that are missing this.

The documentation is also updated to address a problem with getting the
right libc++abi files installed to support the more robust linking
strategy. This may reduce the problems we've seen in the past around
libc++abi and linking on other Linux distros as well.
