gcc's unused warnings which don't get emitted if the function is referenced even in an unevaluated context
(e.g. in templates, sizeof, etc.). Also, saying that a function is 'unused' because it won't get codegen'ed
is somewhat misleading.
- Don't emit 'unused' warnings for functions that are referenced in any part of the user's code.
- A warning that an internal function/variable won't get emitted is useful though, so introduce
-Wunneeded-internal-declaration which will warn if a function/variable with internal linkage is not
"needed" ('used' from the codegen perspective), e.g:
static void foo() { }
template <int>
void bar() {
foo();
}
test.cpp:1:13: warning: function 'foo' is not needed and will not be emitted
static void foo() { }

linkage into Decl.cpp. Disable this logic for extern "C" functions, because
the operative rule there is weaker. Fixes rdar://problem/8898466

This option is not part of the Unused diagnostic group until the warnings on llvm codebase are fixed
and we are ready to turn it on. Suggestion by Daniel.

Unused warnings for functions:
-static functions
-functions in anonymous namespace
-class methods in anonymous namespace
-class method specializations in anonymous namespace
-function specializations in anonymous namespace
Unused warnings for variables:
-static variables
-variables in anonymous namespace
-static data members in anonymous namespace
-static data members specializations in anonymous namespace
Reveals lots of opportunities for dead code removal in llvm codebase that will
interest my esteemed colleagues.
