bcc: Fix build with LLVM 23

LLVM 23 changed the MCContext constructor to take MCAsmInfo,
MCRegisterInfo and MCSubtargetInfo by reference rather than by pointer,
so bcc no longer builds:

  src/cc/bcc_debug.cc:151:68: error: no matching function for call to
  'llvm::MCContext::MCContext(...)'

Backport the upstream fix. It is guarded on LLVM_VERSION_MAJOR so older
Clang keeps working. There is no release carrying it yet; v0.37.0 is
still the newest tag.
