David Tenty d9c1d3cbcb [clang][AIX] Don't ignore XCOFF visibility by default
D87451 added -mignore-xcoff-visibility for AIX targets and made it the default (which mimicked the behaviour of the XL 16.1 compiler on AIX).

However, ignoring hidden visibility has unwanted side effects and some libraries depend on visibility to hide non-ABI facing entities from user headers and
reserve the right to change these implementation details based on this (https://libcxx.llvm.org/DesignDocs/VisibilityMacros.html). This forces us to use
internal linkage fallbacks for these cases on AIX and creates an unwanted divergence in implementations on the plaform.

For these reasons, it's preferable to not add -mignore-xcoff-visibility by default, which is what this patch does.

//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//
// C Language Family Front-end
//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Welcome to Clang.  This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages
(C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++) which is built as part of the LLVM
compiler infrastructure project.

Unlike many other compiler frontends, Clang is useful for a number of things
beyond just compiling code: we intend for Clang to be host to a number of
different source-level tools.  One example of this is the Clang Static Analyzer.

If you're interested in more (including how to build Clang) it is best to read
the relevant web sites.  Here are some pointers:

Information on Clang:             http://clang.llvm.org/

If you have questions or comments about Clang, a great place to discuss them is
on the Clang forums:
