LOG: [DirectX] remove unrecognized 'llvm.errno.tbaa' named metadata for DXIL target (#164472)

This is a temporary measure to explicitly remove the unrecognized named
metadata when targeting DXIL.

This should be removed for an allowlist as tracked here:
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/164473.

Added: 
    llvm/test/CodeGen/DirectX/strip-llvm-errno-tbaa.ll

Modified: 
    llvm/lib/Target/DirectX/DXILPrepare.cpp

Removed:
