We need to do this now that we are bumping the minor release number when we create the release branch. This also results in a slight change to the library names for LLVM. The main library now has a more convential library name: 'libLLVM.so.$major.$minor'. The old library name: libLLVM-$major.so is now a symlink that points to the new library. However, the symlink is not present in the build directory. It is only present in the install directory. The library name was changed because it helped to keep the CMake changes more simple. Fixes #76273
