[ARM][Compiler-RT] Add optional exclusion of libc provided ARM AEABI builtins from compiler-rt. (#137952)

This patch introduces a new optional CMake flag:
  COMPILER_RT_EXCLUDE_LIBC_PROVIDED_ARM_AEABI_BUILTINS

When enabled, this flag excludes the following ARM AEABI memory function
implementations from the compiler-rt build:
        __aeabi_memcmp
	__aeabi_memset
	__aeabi_memcpy
	__aeabi_memmove

These functions are already provided by standard C libraries like glibc,
newlib, and picolibc, so excluding them avoids duplicate symbol
definitions and reduces unnecessary code duplication.

Note: 
- libgcc does not define the __aeabi_* functions that overlap with those
provided by the C library. Enabling this option makes compiler-rt behave
consistently with libgcc.
- This prevents duplicate symbol errors when linking, particularly in
bare-metal configurations where compiler-rt is linked first.
- This flag is OFF by default, meaning all AEABI memory builtins will
still be built unless explicitly excluded.

This change is useful for environments where libc provides runtime
routines, supporting more minimal, conflict free builds.

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.
