[build] Some improvements to the LLVM build system (JuliaLang#55354)
### Elaboration of the issue After JuliaLang#55180 we implicitly require an LLVM built with Zlib support, but compiling Julia with `make USE_BINARYBUILDER_LLVM=0` builds an LLVM without Zlib support, despite the fact we attempt to request it at https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/996351f5f6651d1508aef3c35c7d37eb22a0fb1e/deps/llvm.mk#L97 This was first identified in JuliaLang#55337. ### Explanation of how configuration of LLVM failed `ZLIB_LIBRARY` must be the path to the zlib library, but we currently set it to the libdir where the library is installed (introduced in JuliaLang#42622): https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/blob/996351f5f6651d1508aef3c35c7d37eb22a0fb1e/deps/llvm.mk#L97 which is wrong. However, CMake is actually able to find Zlib correctly, but then the check at https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/46425b8d0fac3c529aa4a716d19abd7032e452f3/llvm/cmake/config-ix.cmake#L139-L141 uses the value of `ZLIB_LIBRARY` to list the Zlib to link for the test, but being `ZLIB_LIBRARY` a directory, CMake doesn't see any valid Zlib and thus tries to run the test without linking any Zlib, and the test silently fails (they're silent only when `LLVM_ENABLE_ZLIB=ON`), resulting in no usable Zlib available, even if found. ### Proposed solution `ZLIB_ROOT` is the only [hint recommended by the CMake module `FindZLIB`](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/FindZLIB.html#hints). This PR replaces a broken `ZLIB_LIBRARY` with an appropriate `ZLIB_ROOT`. Also, we set `LLVM_ENABLE_ZLIB=FORCE_ON` which is the only way to make CMake fail loudly if no usable Zlib is available, and avoid going on with a non-usable build. ### Other comments I confirm this fixes JuliaLang#55337 for me, it should likely address JuliaCI/julia-buildkite#373 as well. Also, options `COMPILER_RT_ENABLE_IOS`, `COMPILER_RT_ENABLE_WATCHOS`, `COMPILER_RT_ENABLE_TVOS`, and `HAVE_HISTEDIT_H` don't exist anymore, and they are removed.
