1) Merge and demote variable definitions when we find a redefinition in
MergeVarDecls, not only when we find one in AddInitializerToDecl (we only reach
the second case if it's the addition of the initializer itself that converts an
existing declaration into a definition).
2) When rebuilding a redeclaration chain for a variable, if we merge two
definitions together, mark the definitions as merged so the retained definition
is made visible whenever the demoted definition would have been.
