Current implementation may end up emitting an undefined reference for
an "inline __attribute__((always_inline))" function by generating an
"available_externally alwaysinline" IR function for it and then failing to
inline all the calls. This happens when a call to such function is in dead
code. As the inliner is an SCC pass, it does not process dead code.
Libc++ relies on the compiler never emitting such undefined reference.
With this patch, we emit a pair of
1. internal alwaysinline definition (called F.alwaysinline)
2a. A stub F() { musttail call F.alwaysinline }
-- or, depending on the linkage --
2b. A declaration of F.
The frontend ensures that F.inlinefunction is only used for direct
calls, and the stub is used for everything else (taking the address of
the function, really). Declaration (2b) is emitted in the case when
"inline" is meant for inlining only (like __gnu_inline__ and some
other cases).
This approach, among other nice properties, ensures that alwaysinline
functions are always internal, making it impossible for a direct call
to such function to produce an undefined symbol reference.
This patch is based on ideas by Chandler Carruth and Richard Smith.

isTriviallyRecursive is a hack used to bridge a gap between the
expectations that source code assumes and the semantics that LLVM IR can
provide. Specifically, asm labels on functions are treated as an
explicit name for a GlobalObject in Clang but treated like an
output-processing step in GCC. Tweak this hack a little further to emit
calls to library functions instead of emitting an incorrect definition.
The definition in question would have available_externally linkage (this
is OK) but result in a call to itself which will either result in an
infinite loop or stack overflow.
This fixes PR23964.

itself via an asm label.
available_externally functions are supposed to correspond to an external
function, and that is not the case in the examples in pr9614.
