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.
This allows using annotation in a much more contexts than it currently has.
especially when annotation with template or constexpr.

When we have an annotated local variable after a function returns, we
generate IR that fails verification with the error
> Instruction referencing instruction not embedded in a basic block!
And it means that bitcast referencing alloca doesn't have a parent basic
block.
Fix by checking if we are at an unreachable point and skip emitting
annotations. This approach is similar to the way we emit variable
initializer and debug info.
