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.
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.

This changes the codegen to match the section names according to the
ObjC rewriter as well as the runtime. The changes to the test are
simply whitespace changes to the section attributes and names and are
functionally equivalent (the whitespace is ignored by the linker).

The current macho linker just copies symbols in section datacoal_nt to
section data, so it doesn't really matter whether or not section
"datacoal_nt" is attached to the global variable.
This is a follow-up to r250370, which made changes in llvm to stop
putting functions and data in the *coal* sections.

to be applied to class or protocols. This will direct IRGen
for Objective-C metadata to use the new name in various places
where class and protocol names are needed.
