`__is_layout_compatible` was added in Clang 19 (#81506), and at that time it wasn't entirely clear whether it should be a revertible type trait or not. We decided to follow the example of other type traits. Since then #95969 happened, and now we know that we don't want new revertible type traits.

This patch removes `__is_layout_compatible` from revertible type traits list, and leaves a comment what revertible type traits are, and that new type traits should not be added there.

The intention is to also cherry-pick this to 19 branch.
