Installs the source files of the experimental libc++ modules. These
source files (.cppm) are used by the Clang to build the std and
std.compat modules.
The design of this patch is based on a discussing in SG-15 on
12.12.2023. (SG-15 is the ISO C++ Tooling study group):
- The modules are installed at a location, that is not known to build
systems and compilers.
- Next to the library there will be a module manifest json file.
This json file contains the information to build the module from the
libraries sources. This information includes the location where the
sources are installed. @ruoso supplied the specification of this json
file.
- If possible, the compiler has an option to give the location of the
module manifest file
(https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/76451).
Currently there is no build system support, but it expected to be added
in the future.

After this patch, we can use `--param std=c++20` even if the compiler only
supports -std=c++2a. The test suite will handle that for us. The only Lit
feature that isn't fully baked will always be the "in development" one,
since we don't know exactly what year the standard will be ratified in.
This is another take on https://reviews.llvm.org/D99789.

* The only exception is that the flag -std=c++2a is still used not to break compatibility with older compilers (clang <= 9, gcc <= 9).
* Bump _LIBCPP_STD_VER for C++20 to 20 and use 21 for the future standard (C++2b).
That's a preparation step to add c++2b support to libc++.
