Andres Gomez 7760566ab7 docs: move untar line in basic testing instructions for coherence
For scons, windows/mingw dealing with LLVM_CONFIG is done before
untarring. This is also more convenient for copy and paste.

In the docs, use `ALWAYS=true` instead of `ALWAYS=1` as it's clearer IMO.

Emil Velikov b3b415609d configure.ac: supersede --enable-gallium-llvm over --enable-llvm
Currently we have extra (somewhat questionable) modularity, such that
one could build some parts with LLVM while others w/o.

That is extremely fragile, error prone and requires quite noticable
amount of code throughout.

Thus lets deprecate the gallium toggle in faviour of the generic one.
The former will throw a warning when set, and it will be overwritten by
the latter. This will allow gradual transition w/o breaking people's
scripts.

v2: Rebase, document in release notes.
