The initializer for a static local variable cannot be hot, because it runs at
most once per program. That's not quite the same thing as having a low branch
probability, but under the assumption that the function is invoked many times,
modeling this as a branch probability seems reasonable.
For TLS variables, the situation is less clear, since the initialization side
of the branch can run multiple times in a program execution, but we still
expect initialization to be rare relative to non-initialization uses. It would
seem worthwhile to add a PGO counter along this path to make this estimation
more accurate in future.
For globals with guarded initialization, we don't yet apply any branch weights.
Due to our use of COMDATs, the guard will be reached exactly once per DSO, but
we have no idea how many DSOs will define the variable.

It seems that suffix '@4HA' was omitted for unknown reason. It is
non-cont non-volatile 'int' type of normal variable TSS.

The MSVC 2015 ABI utilizes a rather straightforward adaptation of the
algorithm found in the appendix of N2382. While we are here, implement
support for emitting cleanups if an exception is thrown while we are
intitializing a static local variable.
