[SE] Stop using llvm-config --cxxflags

[jhen]

Summary

Build configuration was adding $(llvm-config --cxxflags) to the
StreamExecutor CXXFLAGS, but this was causing "-O3" to be passed even
for debug builds, and was making debugging difficult.

The llvm-config call was originally introduced to handle the -fno-rtti
flag because an RTTI StreamExecutor could not link with a no-RTTI LLVM.
This patch converts to using the --has-rtti flag to llvm-config and
only adding the -fno-rtti flag if needed, not all the rest of the LLVM
CXXFLAGS.

I have tested this with clang-4.0 and gcc-4.8 on Ubuntu. Some work will
probably have to be done to support MSVC.

I believe LLVMConfig.cmake defines an LLVM_ENABLE_RTTI variable which can give you this information directly, without the need for the execute_process().

Oh cool! That's much better. Thanks!
