Supporting LLVM 3.5 and 3.6

[David Nadlinger via digitalmars-d-ldc]

I was going to suggest culling < 3.7 support as well.

I'm still toying with the idea of going with a vendored LLVM so we can 
more efficiently support work like Android, SPIR-V, etc., but for now I 
guess there isn't really a reason to throw a wrench into the distro 
packaging process.
