Open on AnyPS5 as boykopovar#15805; this copy follows it.

ps5lift is a static recompiler for PS5 executables: it lifts a game's x86-64 code to LLVM IR and compiles it ahead of time to aarch64, which runs on Linux against AnyPS5's own libraries with no interpreter or JIT. It runs AnyPS5's PS5-style test programs and a homebrew media player to its home screen; commercial games are not playable yet. Branch ps5lift-preview merges all of its PRs (how to try it); native Apple Silicon support is coming along fast. It is a separate approach from the ARM64 compiler in boykopovar#5021; boykopovar#1835 has an introduction.

ps5lift's lifter builds against LLVM from the system, and the convention check reports find_package(LLVM) as third-party code that is not a submodule. This lets the lifter's PR, which follows, pass the check.

What

The convention check accepts find_package(LLVM) as it accepts Python3, Threads and Git.

Tested

tools/tests/test_check_conventions_comments.py passes, with a new case for find_package(LLVM REQUIRED CONFIG). The convention check passes on this PR, and on the lifter's branch when it runs this PR's script.
