Fix issues building libraries as more than one type with Xcode

[beanz]

Summary

CMake+Xcode doesn't seem to handle targets that only have object
sources. This patch works around that limitation by adding a dummy
soruce file to any library target that is generated by llvm_add_library
when object libraries are generated.

Object libraries are generated whenever llvm_add_library is passed more
than one library type, which is now the default case for clang static
libraries (which generate STATIC and OBJECT libraries).
