gn build: Add a template for calling write_cmake_config.py

[thakis]

Summary

No behavior change.

llvm/utils/gn/TODO.txt

 - "optimized tblgen" mode
   - either just always build tablegen and support with opt config
   - or use opt toolchain and build tablegen twice in debug builds, like cmake
 
 - cross builds using GN's toolchain feature
 - one-build-dir bootstrap builds using GN's toolchain feature
 
 - move clang_tablegen into lib/ for private files
-- add write_cmake_config() template, use it throughout where
-  write_cmake_config.py is called
 - add dead code stripping
 - move run_tablegen.py from build to tablegen folder
 - figure out why -Iclang/Support gets added so often
 - make LLVM_LIBXML2_ENABLED use llvm_canonicalize_cmake_boolean (cf D28294),
   clean up both GN and CMake builds
 - plugin() template with working rpath, exports thingers
   - then port clang_build_examples and enable by default so that clang
     plugin tests run by default
 - plugin_host() template

+# This file introduces a templates for calling write_cmake_config.py.
+#
+# write_cmake_config behaves like CMake's configure_file(), but runs at build
+# time, not at generator time.  See write_cmake_config.py for details.
+#
+# Parameters:
+#
+#   input (required) [string]
+#
+#   output (required) [string]
+#
+#   values (required) [list of strings]
+#       Each entry is a '='-separated key-value pair used for substitution.
+#
+# Example use:
+#
+#   write_cmake_config("attributes_compat_func_gen") {
+#     input = "Version.inc.in"
+#     output = "$root_gen_dir/clang/include/clang/Basic/Version.inc",
+#     values = [
+#       "CLANG_VERSION=$llvm_version",
+#     ]
+#   }
