[Bug 239682] Default to devel/llvm90 when libLLVM/libclang are required or if /usr/bin/clang is not enough

--- Comment #29 from Warner Losh <imp at FreeBSD.org> ---
Let's also look at the timeline:

September 19th: 9.0.0 was released
September 25th: llvm90 port was updated to 9.0.0 release
September 28th: LLVM_DEFAULT bumped.

3 days is too fast. It broke things like llvm (I burned half a day digging out
from that mess after I updated after the packages were built). It couldn't have
possibly been tested in just 3 days.

Finally, the exprun for FreeBSD base has kept it from upgrading to 9.0 because
the fallout from this upgrade is too large. Let that sink in: we can't upgrade
base because llvm 9.0 is too broken. And yet it got rushed in just before the
quarterly branch. This is not sound engineering.
