it's because when adding aliases for `copysignl`, we will need to include `copysignl.h` header.  So to keep them in just one `#if ... #endif` block for ease of use, it's cleaner to add the namespace to the macro than having 1 line macro in the namespace all the time, like:
```
#if ...
#include "copysignl.h"

namespace LIBC_NAMESPACE_DECL {
  LLVM_LIBC_ALIASING_FUNCTION(copysignl, copysignf128);
}
#endif
```
vs
```
#if ...
#include "copysignl.h"

LLVM_LIBC_ALIASING_FUNCTION(copysignl, copysignf128);
#endif
