On Hexagon "x = y" is a syntax used in most instructions, and is not
treated as a directive.

Merging such globals loses the dllexport attribute. Add a test
to check that normal globals still are merged.

Previously, these parts weren't ever checked. The label patterns
need to be extended to match successfully on macho.

When a global may be preempted it needs to be accessed directly, instead of
indirectly through a MergedGlobals symbol, for the preemption to work.
This fixes PR33136.

r242520 was reverted in r244313 as the expected behaviour of the alias
attribute in C is that the alias has the same size as the aliasee. However
we can re-introduce adding the size on the alias when the aliasee does not,
from a source code or object perspective, exist as a discrete entity. This
happens when the aliasee is not a symbol, or when that symbol is private.

Other objects can never reference the MergedGlobals symbol so external linkage
is never needed. Using private instead of internal linkage means the object is
more similar to what it looks like when global merging is not enabled, with
the only difference being that the merged variables are addressed indirectly
relative to the start of the section they are in.
Also add aliases for merged variables with internal linkage, as this also makes
the object be more like what it is when they are not merged.

Enabling merging of extern globals appears to be generally either beneficial or
harmless. On some benchmarks suites (on Cortex-M4F, Cortex-A9, and Cortex-A57)
it gives improvements in the 1-5% range, but in the rest the overall effect is
zero.
