[llvm] Add regression test for libcxx copy_file infinite loop issue (#169261) (PR #169288)

[Tamalampudi Siva Harsha Vardhan Reddy via llvm-commits]

https://github.com/harsha08-2k6 created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/169288

This test case demonstrates the infinite loop condition reported in Issue #169261.

Problem: When copy_file is called concurrently from multiple threads without proper locking, the operation can get stuck in an infinite loop in copy_file_impl_copy_file_range when the count variable becomes 0, causing the while (count > 0) loop to never exit.

Test Details:
- Creates multiple threads that attempt to copy files concurrently
- Each thread tries to copy the same source file to a different destination
- The test verifies all threads complete successfully without hanging
- Includes proper cleanup of test files and directories

This regression test ensures the multithreaded safety of the fs::copy_file operation.
