In #<!-- -->138329, _GNU_SOURCE was added for Cygwin, but when building Clang standalone against an installed LLVM this definition was not picked up, resulting in undefined strnlen.  Follow the documentation in https://llvm.org/docs/CMake.html#developing-llvm-passes-out-of-source and add the LLVM_DEFINITIONS in Clang's CMakeLists.txt.

Get rid of the list(REMOVE CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS -D_GNU_SOURCE) later, as list(REMOVE) is documented to remove *all* occurences of the item, not just the one that was just added.  Instead, make use of cmake_push_check_state() and cmake_pop_check_state(), which is already used in other cmake files.
