For a default visibility external linkage definition, dso_local is set for ELF
-fno-pic/-fpie and COFF and Mach-O. Since default clang -cc1 for ELF is similar
to -fpic ("PIC Level" is not set), this nuance causes unneeded binary format differences.
To make emitted IR similar, ELF -cc1 -fpic will default to -fno-semantic-interposition,
which sets dso_local for default visibility external linkage definitions.
To make this flip smooth and enable future (dso_local as definition default),
this patch replaces (function) `define ` with `define{{.*}} `,
(variable/constant/alias) `= ` with `={{.*}} `, or inserts appropriate `{{.*}} `.
Summary:
This lets LLVM perform IPO over these functions. In particular, it
allows LLVM to emit ld.global.nc for loads to __restrict pointers in
kernels that are never written to.

__global__ functions are a special case in CUDA.
Even when the symbol would normally not be externally
visible according to C++ rules, they still must be visible
in CUDA GPU object so host-side stub can launch them.

Adjust __global__ functions with DiscardableODR linkage to use
StrongODR linkage instead, so they are visible externally.

This makes sure that we emit kernels that were instantiated from the
host code and which would never be explicitly referenced by anything
else on device side.

This allows emitting kernels that were instantiated from the host code
and which would never be explicitly referenced otherwise.
