This commit makes it clear that the typeinfo comparison implementation
is automatically selected by default, and that the CMake option only
overrides the value. This has been a source of confusion and bugs ever
since we've introduced complexity in that area, so I'm trying to simplify
it while still allowing for some control on the implementation.

Currently, vendor-specific availability markup is enabled by default.
This means that even when building against trunk libc++, the headers
will by default prevent you from using some features that were not
released in the dylib on your target platform. This is a source of
frustration since people building libc++ from sources are usually not
trying to use some vendor's released dylib.
For that reason, I've been thinking for a long time that availability
annotations should be off by default, which is the primary change that
this commit enables.
In addition, it reworks the implementation to make it easier for new
vendors to add availability annotations for their platform, and it
refreshes the documentation to reflect the current state of the codebase.
Finally, a CMake configuration option is added to control whether
availability annotations should be turned on for the flavor of libc++
being created. The intent is for vendors like Apple to turn it on, and
for the upstream libc++ to leave it off (the default).

Previously, we would define new/delete in both libc++ and libc++abi.
Not only does this cause code bloat, but also it's technically an ODR
violation since we don't know which operator will be selected. Furthermore,
since those are weak definitions, we should strive to have as few of them
as possible (to improve load times).
My preferred choice would have been to put the operators in libc++ only
by default, however that would create a circular dependency between
libc++ and libc++abi, which GNU linkers don't handle.
Folks who want to ship new/delete in libc++ instead of libc++abi are
free to do so by turning on LIBCXX_ENABLE_NEW_DELETE_DEFINITIONS at
CMake configure time.
On Apple platforms, this shouldn't be an ABI break because we re-export
the new/delete symbols from libc++abi. This change actually makes libc++
behave closer to the system libc++ shipped on Apple platforms.
On other platforms, this is an ABI break for people linking against libc++
but not libc++abi. However, vendors have been consulted in D68269 and no
objection was raised. Furthermore, the definitions can be controlled to
appear in libc++ instead with the CMake option.

To make it clearer this is about whether the library supports the debug
mode at all, not whether the debug mode is enabled. Per comment by Nico
Weber on IRC.
Some libc++ builds may want to disable support for the debug mode,
for example to reduce code size or because the current implementation
of the debug mode requires a global map. This commit adds the
LIBCXX_ENABLE_DEBUG_MODE CMake option and ties it into the test
suite.
It also adds a CI job to test this configuration going forward.

When the __config_site header is generated, but LIBCXX_HAS_MERGED_TYPEINFO_NAMES_DEFAULT
wasn't specified, _LIBCPP_HAS_MERGED_TYPEINFO_NAMES_DEFAULT would be defined
to 0, which was the NonUnique RTTI comparison implementation. The intent
was to use the Unique RTTI comparison implementation in that case, which
caused https://llvm.org/PR45549.
Instead, use a proper "switch" to select the RTTI comparison implementation.
Note that 0 can't be used as a value, because that is treated the same
by CMake as a variable that is just not defined.

The introduction of LIBCXX_HAS_MERGED_TYPEINFO_NAMES_DEFAULT changed
the default from =1 (assuming merged typeinfos) to =0 (not assuming
merged typeinfos) on all platforms where at least one other __config_site
macro is defined.
This commit explicitly enables the assumption of merged typeinfo names
on Apple platform to restore the previous behavior, at least until the
underlying issue has been fixed.
Instead of the ad-hoc #define _LIBCXX_DYNAMIC_FALLBACK, provide an option
to enable the setting when building libc++abi. Also use the occasion to
rename the option to something slightly more descriptive.
Note that in the future, it would be great to simply remove this option
altogether. However, in the meantime, it seems better to have it be an
official option than something ad-hoc.
It turns out that all this time, we've actually been building without
assertions enabled in the dylib. This commit updates the Apple CMake
cache to make it consistent with reality.
Configuring libc++abi with LIBCXX_ENABLE_STATIC=OFF is broken since
https://reviews.llvm.org/D71894, so this patch fixes the issue for
Apple platforms to unblock our CI.
