We previously had a few varied definitions of this floating around. I made the one installed with LLVM handle all the cases, and then made the others use it.
This issue was reported to me in https://reviews.llvm.org/D116521#3248117 as
D116521 made clang and llvm use the common cmake utils.

If Clang is set up to link directly against libunwind (via the
--unwindlib option, or the corresponding builtin default option),
configuring libunwind will fail while bootstrapping (before the
initial libunwind is built), because every cmake test will
fail due to -lunwind not being found, and linking the shared library
will fail similarly.
Check if --unwindlib=none is supported, and add it in that case.
Using check_c_compiler_flag on its own doesn't work, because that only
adds the tested flag to the compilation command, and if -lunwind is
missing, the linking step would still fail - instead try adding it
to CMAKE_REQUIRED_FLAGS and restore the variable if it doesn't work.
This avoids having to pass --unwindlib=none while building libunwind.
