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.
