Without them they can be merged with non unnamed_addr constants during LTO.
The resulting constant is not unnamed_addr and goes in a different section,
which causes ld64 to crash.
A testcase that would crash before:
* file1.mm:
void g(id notification) {
[notification valueForKey:@"name"];
}
* file2.cpp:
extern const char js_name_str[] = "name";
* file3.cpp
extern bool JS_GetProperty(const char *name);
extern const char js_name_str[];
bool js_ReportUncaughtException() { JS_GetProperty(js_name_str); }
run
clang file1.mm -o file1.o -c -w -emit-llvm
clang file2.cpp -o file2.o -c -w -emit-llvm
clang file3.cpp -o file3.o -c -w
ld -dylib -o XUL file1.o file2.o file3.o -undefined dynamic_lookup.

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.

there is no reason to align them higher.
- This roughly matches llvm-gcc's r126913.
- It is an open question whether or not we should do this for cstring's in
general (code size vs optimization potential), for now we just match llvm-gcc
until someone wants to run some experiments.

- This is designed to make it obvious that %clang_cc1 is a "test variable"
which is substituted. It is '%clang_cc1' instead of '%clang -cc1' because it
can be useful to redefine what gets run as 'clang -cc1' (for example, to set
a default target).
