When we initially implemented the C++20 synchronization library, we reluctantly accepted for the implementation to be backported to C++03 upon request from the person who provided the patch. This was when we were only starting to have experience with the issues this can create, so we flinched. Nowadays, we have a much stricter stance about not backporting features to previous standards.

We have recently started fixing several bugs (and near bugs) in our implementation of the synchronization library. A recurring theme during these reviews has been how difficult to understand the current code is, and upon inspection it becomes clear that being able to use a few recent C++ features (in particular lambdas) would help a great deal. The code would still be pretty intricate, but it would be a lot easier to reason about the flow of callbacks through things like __thread_poll_with_backoff.

As a result, this patch deprecates support for the synchronization library before C++20. In the next release, we can remove that support entirely.

+- The C++20 synchronization library (``<barrier>``, ``<latch>``, ``atomic::wait``, etc.) has been deprecated

+  In LLVM 20, the C++20 synchronization library will be removed entirely in language modes prior to C++20.

 - TODO: The ``LIBCXX_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS`` CMake variable that was used to enable the safe mode has been deprecated and setting
   it triggers an error; use the ``LIBCXX_HARDENING_MODE`` CMake variable with the value ``extensive`` instead. Similarly,
   the ``_LIBCPP_ENABLE_ASSERTIONS`` macro has been deprecated (setting it to ``1`` still enables the extensive mode in
