[llvm-tapi] Don't try to override SequenceTraits for std::string

[sbc100]

Summary

For some reason this doesn't seem to work with LLVM_LINK_LLVM_DYLIB
build.

See https://logs.chromium.org/logs/chromium/bb/client.wasm.llvm/linux/37764/+/recipes/steps/LLVM_regression_tests/0/stdout

What is more it seems that overriding these traits for core types
(including std::string) is not supported/recommend by YAMLTraits.h.
See line 1918 which has the assertion:
"only use LLVM_YAML_IS_SEQUENCE_VECTOR for types you control"

Apologies, I'll keep a closer eye on that in the future. This can be resolve by doing what ELFArch has done. This requires adding a typedef to TBEHandler.h, changing the declaration of NeededLibs to use the new typedef, and then modifying the ELFYAMLTest.cpp to use something like

LLVM_YAML_STRONG_TYPEDEF(ELFNeededList, ELFNeededMapper)

That should allow us to keep the flow mapping.

Nice! Do you want to do that or should I?

[amontanez]

I can take care of that. I'll add you to the new patch.

My fix ended up triggering some warnings in the bots that don't really have a reasonable fix so I reverted it. This is probably the best solution for the time being. lgtm

So, whats the plan here?
ElfYamlTextAPI.YAMLWritesNoTBESyms continues to fail in my local builds with LLVM_LINK_LLVM_DYLIB...

[amontanez]

I can open a new patch that does exactly this since this patch is marked as abandoned. I haven't checked to see if phabricator supports re-opening an abandoned change.

[sbc100]

Reopening as the alternative solution had issues.
