Prior to this point, a dynamic build might have resulted in some runtime
libraries being statically linked into shared objects and executables in
cases where "shared" runtime libraries were actually linker scripts that
linked static versions. This was the case with the MongoDB toolchain and
some distro toolchains, including those installed as updated compiler
versions in RHEL.
The effect of having runtime libraries statically linked was that
symbols from those libraries would end up scattered over the compiled
objects, increasing object sizes and slowing down server startup. Now,
whenever a dynamic build is selected, the user can choose whether to
create "shim" runtime libraries that wrap the static ones.
The default behavior remains as it was before, and dynamic runtime must
be enabled in order to use it.

The default behavior on Linux is that dynamic builds will detect whether
runtime libraries are linker scripts and create shim libraries if any are
found. On Windows, the default is to always use a dynamic runtime library
with dynamic builds. For other platforms, the prior behavior remains
unchanged.
We sometimes have situations where a dependency applies at a large
scope, such as in the case of tcmalloc, which can apply everywhere. What
we have done previously is to hack these dependencies into the LIBDEPS
environment variable by adding a builder to all nodes that can produce a
compiler result. This is, as stated previously, hackish and hard to
control, and it results in adding a Public dependency to all those
nodes.
What we now do instead is to define LIBDEPS_GLOBAL on the *build
environment* (not the Builder node) listing the targets we would like to
push down to all other nodes below that point. This has the effect of
adding those targets as Private dependencies on all Builder nodes from
that point downward, which means some common Public dependencies can be
converted to a Private dependency that is stated only once.
We use a third-party implementation of std::variant on platforms that do
not include it. This change simply upgrades the third-party source to
the most recent release and then fixes the way we actually depend on it.
Backport the following yaml-cpp CVE fixes from version 0.6.3 to version 0.6.2:
* CVE-2019-6292
* CVE-2019-6285
Also, backport one fix from 0.6.3 for failing VS2017 builds.
We were previously downloading a source archive for yaml-cpp. To support
easily backporting fixes, it's changed to use git instead.
