Subject: [PATCH] [llvm-shlib] Change libLLVM-$MAJOR.so symlink to point to
 versioned SO (#82660)

This symlink was added in 91a384621e5b762d9c173ffd247cfeadd5f436a2 to
maintain backwards compatibility, but it needs to point to
libLLVM.so.$MAJOR.$MINOR rather than libLLVM.so. This works better for
distros that ship libLLVM.so and libLLVM.so.$MAJOR.$MINOR in separate
packages and also prevents mistakes like
libLLVM-19.so -> libLLVM.so -> libLLVM.so.18.1

Fixes #82647

(cherry picked from commit 10c48a772742b7afe665a815b7eba2047f17dc4b)
