This change treats the top-level libc++ as the “system” libc++ on Darwin, matching the way libstdc++ is used on Linux. The approach it takes is to use the requested version’s libc++ headers while linking against the top-level library. This is safe to do because libc++ is built with the stable ABI on Darwin by default. This change is necessary to support building a package with one version of clang while linking against libraries that are built with different versions. Otherwise, if they both use C++, they will link against different versions of libc++ and (probably) crash at runtime. Examples of where this is an issue include older versions of nodejs building with clang 15 and darktable (which is currently built with clang 13).

This was taken from NixOS#264091 to use in the interim before that PR lands (sometime after the release of 23.11). It allows different versions of clang to link the same libc++, allowing dependencies to be linked when they are built with a different version of clang than the stdenv.

Description of changes
This PR is an alternative to #263847 to resolve the nodejs_18 crashes in staging-next #263535.
Instead of overriding the version of libc++ used by clang in each derivation, this PR moves that logic to llvmPackages_*.clang. This allows llvmPackages_*.stdenv to build with one version of clang while linking dependencies built with different versions of clang (because they all use the same libc++), which helps avoid crashes at runtime.
This approach is similar to how the llvmPackages_*.stdenv works with Linux, which uses the same libstdc++ regardless of clang version. While libc++ maintains ABI compatibility, newer headers are not compatible with older compilers. This is addressed by using the original headers with the new libc++ (due to libc++’s ABI stability).
This PR was tested with nodejs_14, nodejs_16, nodejs_18, and Swift (which also performed this override). All built successfully. paperless-ngx.frontend was also built successfully to test node. Other packages built successfully include darktable (clang 13), cone (clang 7), and dar (clang 12).
Users who wish to use a specific version of libc++ with clang can continue using llvmPackages_*.libcxxClang and llvmPackages_*.libcxxStdenv.
Closes #263847.
