[Support] Remove output file checks from `LockFileManager` (#130395)

Currently, `LockFileManager` assumes the owner of the lock file creates
an output file. This is problematic for at least three reasons:

1. It is orthogonal to the main purpose of this class - mutual
exclusion. This makes creating an alternative implementation more
complicated than it needs to be.

2. Some clients (like the upstream `AMDGPUSplitModule.cpp` file) assume
the output file is not necessary. The owner of the lock file does not
write the file expected by `LockFileManager` and the processes waiting
for the non-owned lock file to be unlocked therefore assume the owner
has died. This means that the work gets repeated by each waiting
process, serially.

3. The documentation makes it sound like successfully waiting for a
non-owned lock file guarantees the output file to be present on the file
system. Implicitly-built modules rely on this. However, the module file
may disappear between `LockFileManager` performing the check and the
compiler loading the module (for example due to module cache pruning
with short intervals, or intervention from outside of Clang). The
compiler assumes this cannot happen, and fails the build if it does.

This PR solves this situation by removing the check, reflecting that in
the `LockFileManager` documentation, and fixing the time-of-check
time-of-use bug in implicit modules.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
