[llvm] [cmake] Move LLVM_INSTALL_PACKAGE_DIR top-level to fix llvm-config

[mgorny]

Summary

Move the LLVM_INSTALL_PACKAGE_DIR declaration from llvm/cmake/modules
directory to the top-level llvm/CMakeLists.txt, in order to fix
the regression in llvm-config --cmakedir output for installed LLVM.
Since the tools directory is processed by CMake prior to
llvm/cmake/modules, the llvm-config executable ended up using
the variable prior to it being defined and incorrectly used an empty
path, resulting in e.g.:

$ llvm-config --cmakedir
/usr/lib/llvm/16/

With this patch, the path is defined (and therefore the default value
is being set) prior to adding the tools subdirectory and llvm-config
starts working correctly:

$ llvm-config --cmakedir
/usr/lib/llvm/16/lib64/cmake/llvm

This fixes a regression introduced by D130539. Thanks to Petr Polezhaev
for reporting the problem @ https://bugs.gentoo.org/865165

Can we add comment saying why it is this way? This breaks the pattern of how it is everywhere else, which is fine. But I want anyone reading the code to know why the pattern is broken here (llvm-config).

Add a comment.

Done.

Thanks!

Thanks!

BTW this should be backported to the LLVM 15 release branch too.

I'm going to open a bug after giving buildbots some time to test it.

[Ericson2314]

Great; sounds good. Happy to review that one too when the time comes.
