Subject: [PATCH] [Basic] Detect Git submodule version in CMake

Summary:
When searching for Git version control information, libBasic's CMake
checks for the path '.git/logs/HEAD'. However, when LLVM is included as
a Git submodule, this path does not exist. Instead, it contains a '.git'
file with the following:

```
gitdir: ../../.git/modules/external/llvm
```

Where '../..' is the relative path to the root repository that contains
the LLVM Git submodule.

Because of this discrepancy, `clang --version` does not output source
control information if built from a Git submodule.

To fix, check whether '.git' is a directory or a file. If it's a
directory, simply use the '.git/logs/HEAD' path. If it's a file, read it
and check for the tell-tale sign of a Git submodule: the text "gitdir:".
If it exists, follow that path and use the 'logs/HEAD' at that location
instead. This allows not only the correct revision information to be
retrieved, but also uses a file that will change with each source
control revision.

Test Plan:
1. Before applying this change, build Clang as a Git submodule in a repository
   that places it in external/clang, and confirm no revision information
   is output when `clang --version` is invoked (just "clang 5.0.0" is
   output, no Git hashes).
2. Apply these changes and build Clang as a Git repository nested under
   llvm/tools/clang, and confirm that `clang --version` displays correct
   version information.
3. Apply these changes and build Clang as a Git submodule using the
   structure described in (1), and confirm version control information
   is output as in (2).
