Summary:
1. Use stream 0 only for combined module. Previously if combined module was not
processes ThinLTO used the stream for own output. However small changes in input,
could trigger combined module and shuffle outputs making life of llvm::LTO harder.
2. Always process combined module and write output to stream 0. Processing empty
combined module is cheap and allows llvm::LTO users to avoid implementing processing
which is already done in llvm::LTO.

Now that we have a way to mark GlobalValues as local we can use the symbol
resolutions that the linker plugin provides as part of lto/thinlto link
step to refine the compilers view on what symbols will end up being local.
Originally commited as r317374, but reverted in r317395 to update some missed
tests.

Move LTO::run() to a "run" subcommand so that we can introduce new subcommands
for testing different parts of the LTO implementation.
This doesn't use llvm::cl subcommands because it doesn't appear to be currently
possible to pass an argument not associated with a subcommand to a subcommand
(e.g. -lto-use-new-pm, -mcpu=yonah).

Summary:
We were doing an optimization in the ThinLTO backends of importing
constant unnamed_addr globals unconditionally as a local copy (regardless
of whether the thin link decided to import them). This should be done in
the thin link instead, so that resulting exported references are marked
and promoted appropriately, but will need a summary enhancement to mark
these variables as constant unnamed_addr.
The function import logic during the thin link was trying to handle
this proactively, by conservatively marking all values referenced in
the initializer lists of exported global variables as also exported.
However, this only handled values referenced directly from the
initializer list of an exported global variable. If the value is itself
a constant unnamed_addr variable, we could end up exporting its
references as well. This caused multiple issues. The first is that the
transitively exported references weren't promoted. Secondly, some could
not be promoted/renamed (e.g. they had a section or other constraint).
recursively, instead of just adding the first level of initializer list
references to the ExportList directly.
Remove this optimization and the associated handling in the function
import backend. SPEC measurements indicate we weren't getting much
from it in any case.
Fixes PR31052.
