Rollup merge of rust-lang#126472 - onur-ozkan:improve-libcxx-build, r=Kobzol

build `libcxx-version` only when it doesn't exist

In rust-lang#126423, it seems like c++ parsing takes quite amount of time on bootstrap startups. This PR makes libcxx-version to be compiled only when it doesn't exist.

A simple demonstration on the overhead of buiding `libcxx-version`:

```sh
$ rm -rf build/host/libcxx-version

$ x build
Building bootstrap
    Finished `dev` profile [unoptimized] target(s) in 0.07s

 ----- LIBCXX VERSION CHECK TOOK: 509ms
Building tool rustdoc (stage1 -> stage2, x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu)
    Finished `release` profile [optimized] target(s) in 0.25s
Build completed successfully in 0:00:02

$ x build

    Finished `dev` profile [unoptimized] target(s) in 0.07s

 ----- LIBCXX VERSION CHECK TOOK: 2ms
