CmmToC: don't add extern decl to parsed Cmm data
Previously, if a .cmm file *not in the RTS* contained something like:
```cmm
section "rodata" { msg : bits8[] "Test\n"; }
```
It would get compiled by CmmToC into:
```c
ERW_(msg);
const char msg[] = "Test\012";
```
and fail with:
```
/tmp/ghc32129_0/ghc_4.hc:5:12: error:
error: conflicting types for \u2018msg\u2019
const char msg[] = "Test\012";

See the rationale for this on https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/-/wikis/commentary/compiler/backends/ppr-c#prototypes
Now we don't generate these extern declarations (ERW_, etc.) for
top-level data. It shouldn't change anything for the RTS (the only place
we use .cmm files) as it is already special cased in
`GHC.Cmm.CLabel.needsCDecl`. And hand-written Cmm can use explicit
extern declarations when needed.
Note that it allows `cgrun069` test to pass with CmmToC (cf #15467).
