[libc++] Don't implement <stdatomic.h> before C++23 (#123130)

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/95498 implemented a libc++
extension where <stdatomic.h> would forward to <atomic> even before
C++23. Unfortunately, this was found to be a breaking change (with
fairly widespread impact) since that changes whether _Atomic(T) is a C
style atomic or std::atomic<T>. In principle, this can even be an ABI
break.

We generally don't implement extensions in libc++ because they cause so
many problems, and that extension had been accepted because it was
deemed pretty small and only a quality of life improvement. Since it has
widespread impact on valid C++20 (and before) code, this patch removes
the extension before we ship it in any public release.
