[libunwind][AIX] Remove weak declaration "__xlcxx_personality_v0" (#112436)
`__xlcxx_personality_v0` is the personality routine in `libc++abi` for
the EH of applications generated by the legacy IBM C++ compiler. Since
the EH info generated by the legacy compiler does not provide the
location of the personality routine, this routine is hard-coded as the
handler for legacy EH in the unwinder. The symbol is resolved
dynamically using `dlopen()` to avoid a hard dependency of `libunwind`
on `libc++abi` for cases such as non-C++ applications. The weak
declaration of `__xlcxx_personality_v0` was originally intended to
bypass `dlopen()` if the C++ application generated by the legacy
compiler is statically linked with the new LLVM C++ compiler.
Unfortunately, this causes problems with runtime linking for
Clang-compiled code using the unwinder that does not link with
`libc++abi`.
On the other hand, the C++ runtime libraries shipped for AIX are
actually stripped and statically linking is not supported. So, we can
fix the problem by removing the `__xlcxx_personality_v0` weak
declaration. Besides, `dlopen()` would work as long as the libc++abi
shared library is available.
