Handle new LLVM soname

LLVM now includes the minor version in the soname, and also changed
the names of library files. libLLVM-18.so is now a symlink to
libLLVM.so.18.1.

We need to make two changes to support this: First, we need to
run the installed llvm-config binary, rather than the one from
the build directory. This is because the symlink does not exist
in the build directory, but llvm-config requires it. This looks
like an LLVM bug to me, but it's probably a good idea to use the
installed version anyway.

Second, when installing LLVM into the libdir, we need to follow
the symlink from libLLVM-18.so to libLLVM.so.18.1, as this is what
will actually get loaded at runtime.
