[clang] introduce constexpr step limit opt-out (#160440)

To address @AaronBallman's feedback from
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/143785 this patch implements
an explicit opt-out for `-fconstexpr-steps` by setting
`-fconstexpr-steps=0`.

This does not change any defaults, but gives users an easy way to opt
out of this limit altogether (and instead let the compiler reach the
system's resource limits).

Currently users set `constexpr-steps` to some arbitrary high number (and
I mean _arbitrary_ - see the tables in the previous PR). This isn't
actually opting out of the limit though - you're still bound by the
upper bound of the counter's type. If you have enough resources to
evaluate more than 18446744073709551615 steps that's bad news.

In any case, `=0` conveys the intent clearer. This is in line with how
we handle other flags, ie `-ftemplate-backtrace-limit` or
`-ferror-limit`.

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.

Getting the Source Code and Building LLVM

Consult the Getting Started with LLVM page for information on building and running LLVM.
