llvm dev - Feb 2019 - LLVM 7.1.0 release - Please test the branch

Hi,

The release_70 branch is ready for the 7.1.0 release.  I have updated the
version and pushed a fix for https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39427,
which is the only bug we will be fixing in this release.

Since this is an ABI breaking changing and also we are introducing a
minor version for the first time, please take some time to test the
branch and make sure everything works as expected.  I'm going
to try to do the 7.1.0-rc1 release some time after 8.0.0-rc2, once the
activity around the release calms down a little.

Thanks,
Tom

The SOVERSION is still '7'.  Maybe we should force it to '7.1'
here?

It should already be changed.  This is what I get when I build:

[tstellar at llvm llvm-build]$ objdump -p lib/libLLVM-7.1.so | grep SONAME
  SONAME               libLLVM-7.1.so

Testing on Windows looks okay.
