Subject: [PATCH] [libc++] Avoid redeclaring lgamma_r

This causes issues when building with modules, and redeclaring functions
provided by another library (here the C library) is bad hygiene. Instead,
use <math.h> to access the declaration provided by the system.

As a drive-by, this also starts using ::lgamma_r instead of ::lgamma when
building on top of LLVM-libc. We didn't do that previously due to a
declration conflict, but using the _r version when we can should only
make things thread safe.
