[libclc] Move __clc_ldexp to CLC library (#126078)

This function was already conceptually in the CLC namespace - this just
formally moves it over.

Note however that this commit marks a change in how libclc functions may
be overridden by targets.

Until now we have been using a purely build-system-based approach where
targets could register identically-named files which took responsibility
for the implementation of the builtin in its entirety.

This system wasn't well equipped to deal with AMD's overriding of
__clc_ldexp for only a subset of types, and furthermore conditionally on
a pre-defined macro.

One option for handling this would be to require AMD to duplicate code
for the versions of __clc_ldexp it's *not* interested in overriding. We
could also make it easier for targets to re-define CLC functions through
macros or .inc files. Both of these have obvious downsides. We could
also keep AMD's overriding in the OpenCL layer and bypass CLC
altogether, but this has limited use.

We could use weak linkage on the "base" implementations of CLC
functions, and allow targets to opt-in to providing their own
implementations on a much finer granularity. This commit supports this
as a proof of concept; we could expand it to all CLC builtins if
accepted.

Note that the existing filename-based "claiming" approach is still in
effect, so targets have to name their overrides differently to have both
files compiled. This could also be refined.

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.
