Summary:
Running the tests without availability enabled doesn't really make sense:
availability annotations allow catching errors at compile-time instead
of link-time. Running the tests without availability enabled allows
confirming that a test breaks at link-time under some configuration,
but it is more useful to instead check that it should fail at compile-time.
Always enabling availability in the lit test suite will greatly simplify
XFAILs and troubleshooting of failing tests, which is currently a giant
pain because we have these two levels of possible failure: link-time and
compile-time.

Libc++ is used as a system library on macOS and iOS (amongst others). In order
for users to be able to compile a binary that is intended to be deployed to an
older version of the platform, clang provides the
availability attribute <https://clang.llvm.org/docs/AttributeReference.html#availability>_
that can be placed on declarations to describe the lifecycle of a symbol in the
library.
See docs/DesignDocs/AvailabilityMarkup.rst for more information.
