This implements a solution for constant initializers suggested
by Vadim Girlin, where we store the data after the shader code
and then use the S_GETPC instruction to compute its address.
This saves use the trouble of creating a new buffer for constant data
and then having to pass the pointer to the kernel via user SGPRs or the
input buffer.

Alias with unnamed_addr were in a strange state. It is stored in GlobalValue,
the language reference talks about "unnamed_addr aliases" but the verifier
was rejecting them.
It seems natural to allow unnamed_addr in aliases:
* It is a property of how it is accessed, not of the data itself.
* It is perfectly possible to write code that depends on the address
of an alias.
This patch then makes unname_addr legal for aliases. One side effect is that
the syntax changes for a corner case: In globals, unnamed_addr is now printed
before the address space.
