LGTM!

We should add/update the release note to mention these are now no-op functions that have been explicitly deprecated and will be removed in the future.

…lvm#149079)

For more context, see
llvm#119269 (comment),
but briefly, when removing ARCMigrate, I also removed some symbols in
libclang, which constitutes an ABI break that we don’t want, so this pr
reintroduces the removed symbols; the declarations are marked as
deprecated for future removal, and the implementations print an error
and do nothing, which is what we used to do when ARCMigrate was
disabled.
