private symbols in the __DATA segment internal.
This prevents the linker from removing the symbol names. Keeping the
symbols visible enables tools to collect various information about the
symbols, for example, tools that discover whether or not a symbol gets
dirtied.

expression inside the parentheses is a valid UTF-8 string literal.
Previously clang emitted an expression like @("abc") as a message send
to stringWithUTF8String. This commit makes clang emit the boxed
expression as a compile-time constant instead.
This commit also has the effect of silencing the nullable-to-nonnull
conversion warning clang started emitting after r317727, which
originally motivated this commit (see https://oleb.net/2018/@keypath).

These are all emitted into a section with a cstring_literal attribute. The
attribute permits the linker to coalesce the string contents. The address of
the strings are not important.

These strings are constants, mark them as such. This doesn't matter too much in
practice on MachO since the constants are placed into a special section and not
referred to directly.

In llvm the only semantic difference between internal and private is that llvm
tries to hide private globals my mangling them with a private prefix. Since
the globals changed by this patch already had the magic don't mangle marker,
there should be no change in the generated assembly.
A followup patch should then be able to drop the \01L and \01l prefixes and let
llvm mangle as appropriate.

This is to ensure that GlobalOpt in LLVM does not attempt to look through a
selector reference to a method var name at compile time.
I also added a test/updated old tests that need to recognize the new keyword.
