LDC 1.8.0

Hi everyone, on behalf of the LDC team, I'm glad to announce LDC 1.8. The highlights of this version in a nutshell: * Based on D 2.078.3. * New switch `-link-defaultlib-shared` to link against shared druntime/Phobos. * Plugins support, compatible with existing Clang plugins. * Support for LLVM IR-based PGO as alternative to existing (AST-based) PGO. * Basic support for LLVM XRay instrumentation. Full release log and downloads: https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/releases/tag/v1.8.0 Thanks to all contributors!

LDC has a lot more options than DMD for tuning things and I feel like I'm not so knowledgeable on some of them.

Nothing new, unfortunately, though you can follow progress here:

https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc/issues/2153

I plan to spend some time on it, but have been putting it off.
