textproc/libxml2: fix build with lld 17 none

Description Dimitry Andric freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2023-09-14 17:06:29 UTC 
Many symbols in the linker version script libxml2.syms are only defined
when --with-xptr-locs is enabled at configure time. Since version
scripts do not support conditionals, suppress errors with lld >= 17 due
to these undefined symbols.

Note that upstream fixed this in their configure.ac in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/commit/a8fe4900b, but these changes will only arrive in 2.12.0.
