Steven Wu 2b135b9313 [CMake][gRPC] Update FindGRPC.cmake to support newer gRPC versions (#162935)
Update the logic to find gRPC to always favor CMake `find_package`
implementation including for builds on macOS that uses homebrew, where
gRPCConfig.cmake is also installed to provide an accurate target
dependencies to link against.

This fixes the problem that newer gRPC version has broken up the
libraries into smaller pieces and the hard coded list of libraries in
the implementation can no longer work.

=======================
LLVM Common CMake Utils
=======================

What goes here
--------------

These are CMake modules to be shared between LLVM projects strictly at build
time. In other words, they must not be included from an installed CMake module,
such as the ``Add*.cmake`` ones. Modules that are reachable from installed
modules should instead go in ``${project}/cmake/modules`` of the most upstream
project that uses them.

The advantage of not putting these modules in an existing location like
``llvm/cmake/modules`` is two-fold:

- Since they are not installed, we don't have to worry about any out-of-tree
  downstream usage, and thus there is no need for stability.

- Since they are available as part of the source at build-time, we don't have
  to do the usual stand-alone vs combined-build dances, avoiding much
  complexity.

How to use
----------

For tools, please do:

.. code-block:: cmake

  if(NOT DEFINED LLVM_COMMON_CMAKE_UTILS)
    set(LLVM_COMMON_CMAKE_UTILS ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/../cmake)
  endif()

  # Add path for custom modules.
  list(INSERT CMAKE_MODULE_PATH 0
    # project-specific module dirs first
    "${LLVM_COMMON_CMAKE_UTILS}/Modules"
    )

Notes:

- The ``if(NOT DEFINED ...)`` guard is there because in combined builds, LLVM
  will set this variable.  This is useful for legacy builds where projects are
  found in ``llvm/tools`` instead.

- ``INSERT ... 0`` ensures these new entries are prepended to the front of the
  module path, so nothing might shadow them by mistake.

For runtime libs, we skip the ``if(NOT DEFINED`` part:

.. code-block:: cmake

  set(LLVM_COMMON_CMAKE_UTILS ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/../cmake)

  ... # same as before

If ``llvm/tools`` legacy-style combined builds are deprecated, we should then
skip it everywhere, bringing the tools and runtimes boilerplate back in line.
