Summary:
This fixes PR 37422
In ELF, non-weak symbols can also be non-prevailing. In this particular
PR, the __llvm_profile_* symbols are non-prevailing but weren't getting
dropped - causing multiply-defined errors with lld.
Also add a test, strong_non_prevailing.ll, to ensure that multiple
copies of a strong symbol are dropped.
To fix the test regressions exposed by this fix,
- do not mark prevailing copies for symbols with 'appending' linkage.
There's no one prevailing copy for such symbols.
- fix the prevailing version in dead-strip-fulllto.ll
- explicitly pass exported symbols to llvm-lto in fumcimport.ll and
funcimport_var.ll

This is necessary because DCE is applied to full LTO modules. Without
this change, a reference from a dead ThinLTO global to a dead full
LTO global will result in an undefined reference at link time.
This problem is only observable when --gc-sections is disabled, or
when targeting COFF, as the COFF port of lld requires all symbols to
have a definition even if all references are dead (this is consistent
with link.exe).
This change also adds an EliminateAvailableExternally pass at -O0. This
is necessary to handle the situation on Windows where a non-prevailing
copy of a linkonce_odr function has an SEH filter function; any
such filters must be DCE'd because they will contain a call to the
llvm.localrecover intrinsic, passing as an argument the address of the
function that the filter belongs to, and llvm.localrecover requires
this function to be defined locally.
Fixes PR35142.

If a regular LTO module has a summary index, then instead of linking
it into the combined regular LTO module right away, add it to the
combined summary index and associate it with a special module that
represents the combined regular LTO module.
Any such modules are linked during LTO::run(), at which time we use
the results of summary-based dead stripping to control whether to
link prevailing symbols.
