LLVM Package Set Updates

• bump llvmPackages_latest (llvmPackages_latest: 14 -> 15 #213202)
• backport llvmPackages_15 ([Backport release-22.11] llvmPackages_15: init at 15.0.7 #213092, [Backport release-22.11] lib.teams.llvm: create #213093)

Tests and additional coverage:

• libcxx tests
  • x86_64-darwin (@Et7f3)
  • other platforms
• cc-wrapper tests for sanitizers
• extra cc-wrapper tests for PGO, perhaps?
• stdenv tests on other platforms
• fix these: 1, 2, 3 (either remove or decide that these should gate channel advancement)

Issues/bugs:

• fix use as a cross-compiler targeting FreeBSD (libcxx currently fails to build)
• fix pkgsStatic.llvmPackages_15
• follow up on the armv7l build (didn't finish building before llvmPackages_15: init at 15.0.7 #194634 was merged)
• the three failing x86_64-darwin LLVM tests
  • one: roundevenf isn't present on x86_64-darwin; unclear if this is expected or not
  • two: sw_vers on aarch64-darwin links against frameworks (CoreFoundation) outside the sandbox
  • three: crash in a dsymutil test

Future Work/Wishlist

(not tracked by this issue; will point to issues here as we begin working on these things)

• common LLVM function across the package sets
• LLVM 16
• updating llvmPackages_git to tip-of-tree
• bumping llvmPackages to newer LLVM
• MLIR
• BOLT
• auto updater
• splitting useLLVM
• expanding test coverage (i.e. enabling doCheck on more packages/platforms)
• adding regression tests for the stdenv(s)
• building LTO/PGO/bolt optimized binaries in the llvmPackages sets
• reducing closure size of LLVM by splitting out the .a files in lib outputs? (but in a way that doesn't break users of LLVM static libs..)
