As a followup to r347805, allow forward declarations of cpu-dispatch and
cpu-specific for the same reasons.

As suggested by Richard Smith, and initially put up for review here:
https://reviews.llvm.org/D53341, this patch removes a hack that was used
to ensure that proper target-feature lists were used when emitting
cpu-dispatch (and eventually, target-clones) implementations. As a part
of this, the GlobalDecl object is proliferated to a bunch more
locations.
Originally, this was put up for review (see above) to get acceptance on
the approach, though discussion with Richard in San Diego showed he
approved of the approach taken here. Thus, I believe this is acceptable
for Review-After-commit

When a dispatch function was being emitted that had both a generic and a
pentium configuration listed, we would assert. This is because neither
configuration has any 'features' associated with it so they were both
considered the 'default' version. 'pentium' lacks any features because
we implement it in terms of __builtin_cpu_supports (instead of Intel
proprietary checks), which is unable to decern between the two.
The fix for this is to omit the 'generic' version from the dispatcher if
both are present. This permits existing code to compile, and still will
choose the 'best' version available (since 'pentium' is technically
better than 'generic').

Similar to how ICC handles CPU-Dispatch on Windows, this patch uses the
resolver function directly to forward the call to the proper function.
This is not nearly as efficient as IFuncs of course, but is still quite
useful for large functions specifically developed for certain
processors.
This is unfortunately still limited to x86, since it depends on
__builtin_cpu_supports and __builtin_cpu_is, which are x86 builtins.
The naming for the resolver/forwarding function for cpu-dispatch was
taken from ICC's implementation, which uses the unmodified name for this
(no mangling additions). This is possible, since cpu-dispatch uses '.A'
for the 'default' version.
In 'target' multiversioning, this function keeps the '.resolver'
extension in order to keep the default function keeping the default
mangling.

As documented here: https://software.intel.com/en-us/node/682969 and
https://software.intel.com/en-us/node/523346. cpu_dispatch multiversioning
is an ICC feature that provides for function multiversioning.
This feature is implemented with two attributes: First, cpu_specific,
which specifies the individual function versions. Second, cpu_dispatch,
which specifies the location of the resolver function and the list of
resolvable functions.
This is valuable since it provides a mechanism where the resolver's TU
can be specified in one location, and the individual implementions
each in their own translation units.
The goal of this patch is to be source-compatible with ICC, so this
implementation diverges from the ICC implementation in a few ways:
1- Linux x86/64 only: This implementation uses ifuncs in order to
properly dispatch functions. This is is a valuable performance benefit
over the ICC implementation. A future patch will be provided to enable
this feature on Windows, but it will obviously more closely fit ICC's
implementation.
2- CPU Identification functions: ICC uses a set of custom functions to identify
the feature list of the host processor. This patch uses the cpu_supports
functionality in order to better align with 'target' multiversioning.
1- cpu_dispatch function def/decl: ICC's cpu_dispatch requires that the function
marked cpu_dispatch be an empty definition. This patch supports that as well,
however declarations are also permitted, since the linker will solve the
issue of multiple emissions.
