LDC sources structure refactoring

Hi Ivan,

I'm not sure if I understand the motivation for this. runtime/ is 
already its own CMake project that can be used in a stand-alone fashion 
(check ldc-build-runtime.d for an example).

Also, why does your JIT runtime need a special LLVM build? This is 
likely going to create complications for shipping it as part of the 
default LDC distribution.

Best,
David
