Siva Chandra Reddy af1315c28f [libc][NFC] Move UnitTest and IntegrationTest to the 'test' directory. 
This part of the effort to make all test related pieces into the `test`
directory. This helps is excluding test related pieces in a straight
forward manner if LLVM_INCLUDE_TESTS is OFF. Future patches will also move
the MPFR wrapper and testutils into the 'test' directory.

The LLVM libc unit test framework

This directory contains a lightweight implementation of a gtest like unit test framework for LLVM libc.

Why not gtest?

While gtest is great, featureful and time tested, it uses the C and C++ standard libraries. Hence, using it to test LLVM libc (which is also an implementation of the C standard libraries) causes various kinds of mixup/conflict problems.

How is it different from gtest?

LLVM libc's unit test framework is much less featureful as compared to gtest. But, what is available strives to be exactly like gtest.

Will it be made as featureful as gtest in future?

It is not clear if LLVM libc needs/will need every feature of gtest. We only intend to extend it on an as needed basis. Hence, it might never be as featureful as gtest.
