ABI descriptors should always be emitted as sidecars for library-evolution-enabled modules.
However, generating these files requires traversing the entire module (like indexing), which may
hit additional deserialization issues. To unblock builds, this patch introduces a flag to skip
the traversing logic so that we emit an empty ABI descriptor file. The empty file serves as
a placeholder so that the build system doesn't need to know the details.
