Summary

For lldb and dsymutil, the command guide is essentially a copy of its help output generated by libOption. Making sure the two stay in sync is tedious and error prone. Given that we already generate the help from a tablegen file, we might as well generate the RST as well.

This adds a tablegen backend for generating Sphinx/RST command guides from the tablegen file.

Is this used outside the definition of CompareOptionRecords?

Doesn't look like it. I'll move it into the implementation.
