C++11 requires const objects to have a user-provided constructor, even for
classes without any fields. DR 253 relaxes this to say "If the implicit default
constructor initializes all subobjects, no initializer should be required."
clang is currently the only compiler that implements this C++11 rule, and e.g.
libstdc++ relies on something like DR 253 to compile in newer versions. This
change makes it possible to build code that says `const vector<int> v;' again
when using libstdc++5.2 and _GLIBCXX_DEBUG
(https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=60284).
Fixes PR23381.

(For example needed to parse system header inputscope.h, which first has
an extern "C" selectany IID and then later an extern "C" declaration of that
same IID.)

r235046 turned "extern __declspec(selectany) int a;" from a declaration into
a definition to fix PR23242 (required for compatibility with mc.exe output).
However, this broke parsing Windows headers: A d3d11 headers contain something
like
struct SomeStruct {};
extern const __declspec(selectany) SomeStruct some_struct;
This is now a definition, and const objects either need an explicit default
ctor or an initializer so this errors out with
d3d11.h(1065,48) :
error: default initialization of an object of const type
'const CD3D11_DEFAULT' without a user-provided default constructor
(cl.exe just doesn't implement this rule, independent of selectany.)
To work around this, weaken this error into a warning for selectany decls
in microsoft mode, and recover with zero-initialization.
Doing this is a bit hairy since it adds a fixit on an error emitted
by InitializationSequence – this means it needs to build a correct AST, which
in turn means InitializationSequence::Failed() cannot return true when this
fixit is applied. As a workaround, the patch adds a fixit member to
InitializationSequence, and InitializationSequence::Perform() prints the
diagnostic if the fixit member is set right after its call to Diagnose.
That function is usually called when InitializationSequences are used –
InitListChecker::PerformEmptyInit() doesn't call it, but the InitListChecker
case never performs default-initialization, so this is technically OK.
This is the alternative, original fix for PR20208 that got reviewed in the
thread "[patch] Improve diagnostic on default-initializing const variables
(PR20208)". This change basically reverts r213725, adds the original fix for
PR20208, and makes the error a warning in Microsoft mode.

Checking in ActOnVariableDeclarator computes and caches the linkage using
the non-deduced auto type which defaults to external linkage. Depending on
how the auto type is deduced linkage can change and conflict with the
cached linkage, hitting asserts.

selectany only applies to externally visible global variables. It has
the effect of making the data weak_odr.
The MSDN docs suggest that unused definitions can only be dropped at
linktime, so Clang uses weak instead of linkonce. MSVC optimizes away
references to constant selectany data, so it must assume that there is
only one definition, hence weak_odr.
