Accepting request 696415 from home:elimat:branches:devel:languages:D

- Update to 1.15.0
  * Big news
    - Frontend, druntime and Phobos are at version 2.085.1, incl. new
	  command-line options -preview, -revert, -checkaction=context,
	  -verrors-context and -extern-std. (#3003, #3039, #3053) (new)
      + The Objective-C improvements from DMD 2.085 are not implemented
	    (#3007)
    - Support for LLVM 8.0. The prebuilt packages have been upgraded to
	  LLVM 8.0.0 and include the Khronos SPIRV-LLVM-Translator, so that
	  dcompute can now emit OpenCL too. (#3005)
    - Compiler memory requirements can now be reduced via the new -lowmem
	  switch, which enables the garbage collector for the front-end and
	  sacrifices compile times for less required memory. In some cases, the
	  overall max process memory can be reduced by more than 60%; see #2916
	  (comment) for some numbers. (#2916)
      + Note for package maintainers: this feature requires a recent D host
	    compiler (most notably, it doesn't work with ltsmaster), ideally
		LDC 1.15 itself due to important GC memory overhead improvements in
		2.085 druntime.
    - Support for generic @llvmAttr("name") parameter UDAs, incl. new
	  @restrict with C-like semantics. (#3043) (new)
    - macOS: 32-bit support was dropped in the sense of not being CI-tested
	  anymore and the prebuilt macOS package now containing x86_64 libraries
	  only. MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET for the prebuilt package has been raised
	  from 10.8 to 10.9.
    - Prebuilt packages don't depend on libtinfo and libedit anymore. 
	  (#1827, #3019)
    - x86: SSSE3 isn't required for the prebuilt packages and generated
	  optimized binaries anymore. (#3045) (new)
  * Platform support
    - Supports LLVM 3.9 - 8.0.
  * Bug fixes
    - Implicit cross-module-inlining of functions annotated with
	  pragma(inline, true) without explicit -enable-cross-module-inlining has
	  been restored. (#2552, #3014)
    - Propagate well-known length of newly allocated dynamic arrays for
	  better optimizability. (#3041, #3042) (new)
    - JIT: Support implicit __chkstk calls for Windows targets, e.g., for
	  large stack allocations. (#3051) (new)
- Update so_version to 85
