Sync LLVM submodule if it has been initialized

Since having enabled the download-ci-llvm option,
and having rebased on top of #76864,
I've noticed that I had to update the llvm-project
submodule manually if it was checked out.
Orignally, the submodule update logic was
introduced to reduce the friction for contributors
to manage the submodules, or in other words, to prevent
getting PRs that have unwanted submodule rollbacks
because the contributors didn't run git submodule update.

This commit adds logic to ensure there is no inadvertent
LLVM submodule rollback in a PR if download-ci-llvm
(or llvm-config) is enabled. It will detect whether the
llvm-project submodule is initialized, and if so, update
it in any case. If it is not initialized, behaviour is
kept to not do any update/initialization.

An alternative to the chosen implementation would
be to not pass the --init command line arg to
`git submodule update` for the src/llvm-project
submodule. This would show a confusing error message
however on all builds with an uninitialized repo.
We could pass the --silent param, but we still want
it to print something if it is initialized and has
to update something.
So we just do a manual check for whether the
submodule is initialized.
