## Purpose
This patch is one in a series of code-mods that annotate LLVM’s public 
interface for export. This patch ensures a few `cl::opt` declarations are 
properly annotated with `LLVM_ABI`. The annotations currently have no 
meaningful impact on the LLVM build; however, they are  a prerequisite to 
support an LLVM Windows DLL (shared library) build.

## Background
This effort is tracked in #109483. Additional context is provided in [this 
discourse](https://discourse.llvm.org/t/psa-annotating-llvm-public-interface/85307),
 and documentation for `LLVM_ABI` and related annotations is found in the LLVM 
repo 
[here](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/llvm/docs/InterfaceExportAnnotations.rst).
  

## Overview
- Remove local `extern` declarations of `llvm::PrintPipelinePasses` because it 
is already correctly declared with an `LLVM_ABI` annotation in 
`llvm\Passes\PassBuilder.h`. Leaving these declarations results in a gcc 
compile warning unless they are also annotated with `LLVM_ABI`.
- Similarly, remove local `extern` declarations of `ProfileSummaryCutoffHot` 
and `UseContextLessSummary` from `llvm/tools/llvm-profgen/ProfileGenerator.cpp` 
since they are declared with `LLVM_ABI` in `llvm\ProfileData\ProfileCommon.h`.
- Explicitly annotate the extern declaration of `ProfileCorrelate` in 
`clang/lib/CodeGen/BackendUtil.cpp` since it is not declared in a header. The 
definition of `ProfileCorrelate` in 
`llvm\lib\Transforms\Instrumentation\InstrProfiling.cpp` is already annotated 
with `LLVM_ABI`.

## Validation
Local builds and tests to validate cross-platform compatibility. This included 
llvm, clang, and lldb on the following configurations:

- Windows with MSVC
- Windows with Clang
- Linux with GCC
- Linux with Clang
- Darwin with Clang
