This reverts commit r293970.
After more discussion, this belongs to the linker side and
there is no added value to do it at this level.
llvm-svn: 293993
When a symbol is not exported outside of the
DSO, it is can be hidden. Usually we try to internalize
as much as possible, but it is not always possible, for
instance a symbol can be referenced outside of the LTO
unit, or there can be cross-module reference in ThinLTO.
This is a recommit of r293912 after fixing build failures,
and a recommit of r293918 after fixing LLD tests.

Summary:
Using the linker-supplied list of "preserved" symbols, we can compute
the list of "dead" symbols, i.e. the one that are not reachable from
a "preserved" symbol transitively on the reference graph.
Right now we are using this information to mark these functions as
non-eligible for import.
The impact is two folds:
- Reduction of compile time: we don't import these functions anywhere
or import the function these symbols are calling.
- The limited number of import/export leads to better internalization.
