For a definition (of most linkage types), dso_local is set for ELF -fno-pic/-fpie
and COFF, but not for Mach-O. This nuance causes unneeded binary format differences.
This patch replaces (function) `define ` with `define{{.*}} `,
(variable/constant/alias) `= ` with `={{.*}} `, or inserts appropriate `{{.*}} `
if there is an explicit linkage.
* Clang will set dso_local for Mach-O, which is currently implied by TargetMachine.cpp. This will make COFF/Mach-O and executable ELF similar.
* Eventually I hope we can make dso_local the textual LLVM IR default (write explicit "dso_preemptable" when applicable) and -fpic ELF will be similar to everything else. This patch helps move toward that goal.
For consistency with normal instructions and clarity when reading IR,
it's best to print the %0, %1, ... names of function arguments in
definitions.
Also modifies the parser to accept IR in that form for obvious reasons.

Amongst other, this will help LTO to correctly handle/honor files
compiled with O0, helping debugging failures.
It also seems in line with how we handle other options, like how
-fnoinline adds the appropriate attribute as well.

For naked functions with parameters, Clang would still emit stores in the prologue
that would clobber the stack, because LLVM doesn't set up a stack frame. (This
shows up in -O0 compiles, because the stores are optimized away otherwise.)
For example:
__attribute__((naked)) int f(int x) {
asm("movl $42, %eax");
asm("retl");
}
Would result in:
_Z1fi:
movl 12(%esp), %eax
movl %eax, (%esp) <--- Oops.
movl $42, %eax
retl
