[libcxx] Make libc++.so a linker script by default on most platforms.
Summary:
This patch turns on `LIBCXX_ENABLE_ABI_LINKER_SCRIPT` by default whenever `LLVM_HAVE_LINK_VERSION_SCRIPT` is ON. This turns out to be whenever:
1. WIN32 is not defined.
2 UNIX is defined.
3. APPLE is not defined.
While `LLVM_HAVE_LINK_VERSION_SCRIPT` is meant to reflect exactly what we are asking I think it's close enough.
After committing this patch Linux users will no longer have to use "-lc++abi" explicitly!

If this option is enabled, libc++ will try and link the selected ABI library
statically.
+.. option:: LIBCXX_ENABLE_ABI_LINKER_SCRIPT:BOOL
+
+ **Default**: ``ON`` by default on UNIX platforms other than Apple unless
+ 'LIBCXX_ENABLE_STATIC_ABI_LIBRARY' is ON. Otherwise the default value is ``OFF``.
+
+ This option generate and installs a linker script as ``libc++.so`` which
+ links the correct ABI library.
