    Suppress "has no symbols" linker warnings on macOS.
    
    After a recent macOS update, building Postgres produces warnings
    that look like this:
    
        ranlib: warning: 'libpgport_shlib.a(pg_cpu_x86.c.o)' has no symbols
        ranlib: warning: 'libpgport_shlib.a(pg_popcount_x86.c.o)' has no symbols
    
    To fix, add a dummy symbol to files that may otherwise have none.
    Per project policy, this is a candidate for back-patching into
    out-of-support branches: it suppresses annoying compiler warnings
    but changes no behavior.
