RFR: Remove duplicate copies of libclang on Linux

On Linux, libclang.so is found in three forms:
* `libclang.so.13.0.0`, this is the real library
* `libclang.so.13`, this is a symlink that points to the above library
* `libclang.so`, this is a symlink that points to the above symlink
Because of this, and because Gradle lacks ability to distinguish between real filenames and symlinks, we end up (on Linux) with multiple versions of libclang, which significantly impact on the size of the final jextract artifact.
The solution is to add some special logic on Linux where:
* only `libclang.so.13.0.0` is copied from LLVM
* `libclang.so.13.0.0` is later renamed to `libclang.so`
This PR implement such changes both for gradle and make build (both have been tested locally).
