Other objects can never reference the MergedGlobals symbol so external linkage
is never needed. Using private instead of internal linkage means the object is
more similar to what it looks like when global merging is not enabled, with
the only difference being that the merged variables are addressed indirectly
relative to the start of the section they are in.
Also add aliases for merged variables with internal linkage, as this also makes
the object be more like what it is when they are not merged.

Now that we can look at users, we can trivially do this: when we would
have otherwise disabled GlobalMerge (currently -O<3), we can just run
it for minsize functions, as it's usually a codesize win.
