"Bye" is already included in `llvm/Support/Extension.def` (if enabled in CMake configuration). 

This needed is when you want to write a tool (like `opt`, `bugpoint`, ...) that uses the NPM pipeline builder to automatically add pass-extension plugins (such as "Bye") when creating an O1/O2/... pipeline (in addition to a the pre-registered set of passes). I.e. that does not just happen automatically if the tool itself does not add code for it.
