For a definition (of most linkage types), dso_local is set for ELF -fno-pic/-fpie
and COFF, but not for Mach-O. This nuance causes unneeded binary format differences.
This patch replaces (function) `define ` with `define{{.*}} `,
(variable/constant/alias) `= ` with `={{.*}} `, or inserts appropriate `{{.*}} `
if there is an explicit linkage.
* Clang will set dso_local for Mach-O, which is currently implied by TargetMachine.cpp. This will make COFF/Mach-O and executable ELF similar.
* Eventually I hope we can make dso_local the textual LLVM IR default (write explicit "dso_preemptable" when applicable) and -fpic ELF will be similar to everything else. This patch helps move toward that goal.
target Objective-C runtime down to the frontend: break this
down into a single target runtime kind and version, and compute
all the relevant information from that. This makes it
relatively painless to add support for new runtimes to the
compiler. Make the new -cc1 flag, -fobjc-runtime=blah-x.y.z,
available at the driver level as a better and more general
alternative to -fgnu-runtime and -fnext-runtime. This new
concept of an Objective-C runtime also encompasses what we
were previously separating out as the "Objective-C ABI", so
fragile vs. non-fragile runtimes are now really modelled as
different kinds of runtime, paving the way for better overall
differentiation.
As a sort of special case, continue to accept the -cc1 flag
-fobjc-runtime-has-weak, as a sop to PLCompatibilityWeak.
I won't go so far as to say "no functionality change", even
ignoring the new driver flag, but subtle changes in driver
semantics are almost certainly not intended.

increasingly prevailing case to the point that new features
like ARC don't even support the fragile ABI anymore.
This required a little bit of reshuffling with exceptions
because a check was assuming that ObjCNonFragileABI was
only being set in ObjC mode, and that's actually a bit
obnoxious to do.
Most, though, it involved a perl script to translate a ton
of test cases.
Mostly no functionality change for driver users, although
there are corner cases with disabling language-specific
exceptions that we should handle more correctly now.

Language-design credit goes to a lot of people, but I particularly want
to single out Blaine Garst and Patrick Beard for their contributions.
Compiler implementation credit goes to Argyrios, Doug, Fariborz, and myself,
in no particular order.
