This is part of the effort to support for enabling plugins on windows by adding better support for building llvm and clang as a DLL.

Since windows doesn't implicitly import and merge exported symbols across shared libraries like other platforms we need to explicitly add a extern template declaration for each instantiation of llvm::Registry to force the registry symbols to be dllimport'ed.
I've added a new visibility macro that doesn't switch between dllimport and dllexport on windows since the existing macro would be in the wrong mode for llvm::Registry's declared in Clang. This PR also depends Clang symbol visibility macros that will be added by #108276

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Update llvm::Registry to work for LLVM shared library
 builds on windows

Windows doesn't implicitly import and merge exported symbols across shared libraries
like Linux does so we need to explicitly export/import each instantiation of llvm::Registry.
Updated LLVM_INSTANTIATE_REGISTRY macro to export Registry::add_node and
Registry::begin() and add extern template declarations for the all instantiations of llvm::Registry.
