For a default visibility external linkage definition, dso_local is set for ELF
-fno-pic/-fpie and COFF and Mach-O. Since default clang -cc1 for ELF is similar
to -fpic ("PIC Level" is not set), this nuance causes unneeded binary format differences.
To make emitted IR similar, ELF -cc1 -fpic will default to -fno-semantic-interposition,
which sets dso_local for default visibility external linkage definitions.
To make this flip smooth and enable future (dso_local as definition default),
this patch replaces (function) `define ` with `define{{.*}} `,
(variable/constant/alias) `= ` with `={{.*}} `, or inserts appropriate `{{.*}} `.
Summary:
Clang -fpic defaults to -fno-semantic-interposition (GCC -fpic defaults
to -fsemantic-interposition).
Users need to specify -fsemantic-interposition to get semantic
interposition behavior.
Semantic interposition is currently a best-effort feature. There may
still be some cases where it is not handled well.

Summary:
- If a string literal is reused directly, need to add necessary address
space casting if the target requires that.

Summary: The name of the synthesized constants for constant initialization was using mangling for statics, which isn't generally correct and (in a yet-uncommitted patch) causes the mangler to assert out because the static ends up trying to mangle function parameters and this makes no sense. Instead, mangle to `"__const." + FunctionName + "." + DeclName`.

Some targets have constant address space (e.g. amdgcn). For them string literal should be
emitted in constant address space then casted to default address space.
