I have updated the wiki page on building ldc from source, showing 
how to build our branch of llvm and switching it to CMake:

https://wiki.dlang.org/Building_LDC_from_source

I have also added some info about building on or for Android.  
Please look it over and add anything I missed.

I will now remove the instructions on building ldc for Android 
here, since it's all in the official page now and no patches are 
needed:
