-fno-semantic-interposition is currently the CC1 default. (The opposite
disables some interprocedural optimizations.) However, it does not infer
dso_local: on most targets accesses to ExternalLinkage functions/variables
defined in the current module still need PLT/GOT.
This patch makes explicit -fno-semantic-interposition infer dso_local,
so that PLT/GOT can be eliminated if targets implement local aliases
for AsmPrinter::getSymbolPreferLocal (currently only x86).
Currently we check whether the module flag "SemanticInterposition" is 0.
If yes, infer dso_local. In the future, we can infer dso_local unless
"SemanticInterposition" is 1: frontends other than clang will also
benefit from the optimization if they don't bother setting the flag.
(There will be risks if they do want ELF interposition: they need to set
"SemanticInterposition" to 1.)
First attempt at implementing -fsemantic-interposition.
Rely on GlobalValue::isInterposable that already captures most of the expected
behavior.
Rely on a ModuleFlag to state whether we should respect SemanticInterposition or
not. The default remains no.
So this should be a no-op if -fsemantic-interposition isn't used, and if it is,
isInterposable being already used in most optimisation, they should honor it
properly.
Note that it only impacts architecture compiled with -fPIC and no pie.
