[libc++] Fix Newlib check in __fwd/ios.h

[wecing]

_NEWLIB_VERSION is only visible when any libc header is included. I ran into a weird case where during libc++ compilation, __fwd/ios.h did not see _NEWLIB_VERSION and defined off_t as long long, but in the actual user program, _NEWLIB_VERSION was visible, so the program tried to use a long int instead of long long specialization of a template function that is provided by libc++.a, and caused linking failure.

The new cmake option was also used in another PR that I created; see #167962.
