LOG: Remove __SHORT_FILE__ macro definition in CMake (#152344)

This per-file macro definition on the command line breaks caching of
modules. See discussion in #150677

Instead we use a constexpr function that processes the __FILE__ macro,
but prefer also the __FILE_NAME__ macro when available (clang/gcc) to spare
compile-time in the frontend.
If the constexpr function isn't const-evaluated, it'll be only evaluated when
printing the debug message.

    llvm/unittests/Support/DebugLogTest.cpp

Removed:
