LOG: [libc++] Applied `[[nodiscard]]` to concurrency (partially) (#169463)

`[[nodiscard]]` should be applied to functions where discarding the
return value is most likely a correctness issue.

- https://libcxx.llvm.org/CodingGuidelines.html#apply-nodiscard-where-relevant

The following utilities have been annotated in this patch:

- [x] `<barrier>`
- [x] `<condition_variable>`
- [x] `<latch>`
- [x] `<mutex>`
- [x] `<semaphore>`
- [x] `<thread>`

N.B. Some classes don't provide all specified methods, which were not
annotated.

Added: 
    libcxx/test/libcxx/thread/nodiscard.verify.cpp

Modified: 
    libcxx/include/__condition_variable/condition_variable.h
    libcxx/include/__mutex/mutex.h
    libcxx/include/__thread/thread.h
    libcxx/include/barrier
    libcxx/include/latch
    libcxx/include/mutex
    libcxx/include/semaphore

Removed: 
    libcxx/test/std/thread/thread.jthread/nodiscard.verify.cpp
