This is a minor fixup for the LLVM 6.0 support quick fix (#6380) that changes the versions check for "below 6.0" (<= 5.9) to <= 5.0 since there wont be any new 5.x versions after 5.0.

Not sure this is worth merging, it works fine as-is.

Patch releases will increment the patch component as before (producing versions like 5.0.1), and the minor component will stay at zero since no minor releases will be made.

This is either an incorrect PR or a purely-aesthetic change, depending on the implementation of LLVM_VERSION_LE. I can't be bothered to check which one it is, because it doesn't matter. I vote close.

Why not change the 9 to a prettier number like 42?

Let's fixup. It fixes an imaginary version number, to one that does exist.

This is either an incorrect PR or a purely-aesthetic change, depending on the implementation of LLVM_VERSION_LE.

I can assure you it is not incorrect, the previous code was.

The LLVM_VERSION_LE macro only checks the major and minor version of LLVM. After LLVM 5.0 there is 6.0 and the next version will be 7.0. There are patch releases like 5.0.1/5.0.2, but there will never be a 5.1 release.

The only reason I initially used 5.9 as a check, is because I wanted to write "lower than 6.0" and then noticed the macro was lower-than-or-equal so I change it from 6.0 to 5.9, which technically works, but is confusing to the reader of the code.
