Use a combination of !associated, comdat, @llvm.compiler.used and
custom sections to allow dead stripping of globals and their asan
metadata. Sometimes.
Currently this works on LLD, which supports SHF_LINK_ORDER with
sh_link pointing to the associated section.
This also works on BFD, which seems to treat comdats as
all-or-nothing with respect to linker GC. There is a weird quirk
where the "first" global in each link is never GC-ed because of the
section symbols.
At this moment it does not work on Gold (as in the globals are never
stripped).
This is a second re-land of r298158. This time, this feature is
limited to -fdata-sections builds.

This is a re-land of r298158 rebased on D31358. This time,
asan.module_ctor is put in a comdat as well to avoid quadratic
behavior in Gold.

Other than on COFF with incremental linking, global metadata should
not need any extra alignment.

When using profiling and ASan together (-fprofile-instr-generate -fcoverage-mapping -fsanitize=address), at least on Darwin, the section of globals that ASan emits (__asan_globals) is misaligned and starts at an odd offset. This really doesn't have anything to do with profiling, but it triggers the issue because profiling emits a string section, which can have arbitrary size. This patch changes the alignment to sizeof(GlobalStruct).

Summary:
This is similar to what was done for Darwin in rL264645 /
http://reviews.llvm.org/D16737, but it uses COFF COMDATs to achive the
same result instead of relying on new custom linker features.
As on MachO, this creates one metadata global per instrumented global.
The metadata global is placed in the custom .ASAN$GL section, which the
ASan runtime will iterate over during initialization. There are no other
references to the metadata, so normal linker dead stripping would
discard it. However, the metadata is put in a COMDAT group with the
instrumented global, so that it will be discarded if and only if the
instrumented global is discarded.
I didn't update the ASan ABI version check since this doesn't affect
non-Windows platforms, and the WinASan ABI isn't really stable yet.
Implementing this for ELF will require extending LLVM IR and MC a bit so
that we can use non-COMDAT section groups.

The binder is in a specific section that "reverse" the edges in a
regular dead-stripping: the binder is live as long as a global it
references is live.
This is a big hammer that prevents LLVM from dead-stripping these,
while still allowing linker dead-stripping (with special knowledge
of the section).

On OS X El Capitan and iOS 9, the linker supports a new section
attribute, live_support, which allows dead stripping to remove dead
globals along with the ASAN metadata about them.
With this change __asan_global structures are emitted in a new
__DATA,__asan_globals section on Darwin.
Additionally, there is a __DATA,__asan_liveness section with the
live_support attribute. Each entry in this section is simply a tuple
that binds together the liveness of a global variable and its ASAN
metadata structure. Thus the metadata structure will be alive if and
only if the global it references is also alive.
