With the changes introduced in #65055, the Cxx module will build even when not building the stdlib as long as
SWIFT_BUILD_STDLIB_EXTRA_TOOLCHAIN_CONTENT was set. With the further changes in #65122 the previous flag is not necessary, and only SWIFT_BUILD_STDLIB_CXX_MODULE (which defaults to TRUE) is necessary.

However, stdlib/public/Cxx did rely on StdlibOptions.cmake to be include before it, or the functions that build the target libraries will find a half configured state. StdlibOptions.cmake are included in stdlib/toolchain, in stdlib/ and StandaloneOverlay.cmake. Before
#65122 it was working just because stdlib/toolchain was added just
before.

The second change is for the case of building the stdlib isolated. I don't think upstream builds this way at all. It adds a dependency on the legacy layouts, which is a dependency only added to the libraries of the stdlib core (IS_STDLIB_CORE flag). Since enabling that flag also enables a bunch other stuff, and I am not sure that Cxx should be classified as "core" anyway, I preferred to add the dependency. This is necessary for builds like the iPhoneOS and iPhoneSimulator, and does not seem to affect macOS.

Added a final dependency found while building from a cleaner state. Besides the legacy layouts, we also need to force the Clang headers in place if we want to build with the host compiler.

@swift-ci please test and merge

With the changes introduced in swiftlang#65055, the Cxx module will build even
when not building the stdlib as long as
`SWIFT_BUILD_STDLIB_EXTRA_TOOLCHAIN_CONTENT` was set. With the further changes

`SWIFT_BUILD_STDLIB_CXX_MODULE` (which defaults to `TRUE`) is necessary.

However, `stdlib/public/Cxx` did rely on `StdlibOptions.cmake` to be
include before it, or the functions that build the target libraries will
find a half configured state. `StdlibOptions.cmake` are included in
`stdlib/toolchain`, in `stdlib/` and `StandaloneOverlay.cmake`. Before swiftlang#65122

dependency of the swiftCore, which otherwise causes problems to not find
the compiler headers when building Cxx. This is necessary for builds
that use a previously built compiler to compile the stdlib.

Checking if the stdlib supports backdeployment before adding copy-legacy-layouts. It seems that freestanding-x86_64 doesn't support that target.

In #65172 I tried to fix a problem when the Cxx module is enabled, but
we are not building the stdlib. The fix work for `swiftCxx`, but failed
to to realize that `swiftCxxStdlib` overlay is also built, which needs
parts of the stdlib.

The original #65055 only built the Cxx module when
`EXTRA_TOOLCHAIN_CONTENT` was set, but #65122 changed so it was two
independent checks. A more faithful fix will had been to nest the `if`
as I am trying to do with this PR. Parts of #65172 are still necessary
to build in every case, though: the `swiftCxx` target is dependent on
the Clang headers and the legacy layouts. Those two pieces are normally
in place because of other targets in upstream builds, but fail to
materialize when the stdlib is trying to be built with the host
compiler.

This one and #65172 will need to be cherry-picked to 5.9 because #65055
and #65122 where cherry-picked, so 5.9 is having the same problems as
`main`.
