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 `{{.*}} `.
PAC/BTI-related codegen in the AArch64 backend is controlled by a set
of LLVM IR function attributes, added to the function by Clang, based
on command-line options and GCC-style function attributes. However,
functions, generated in the LLVM middle end (for example,
asan.module.ctor or __llvm_gcov_write_out) do not get any attributes
and the backend incorrectly does not do any PAC/BTI code generation.
This patch record the default state of PAC/BTI codegen in a set of
LLVM IR module-level attributes, based on command-line options:
* "sign-return-address", with non-zero value means generate code to
sign return addresses (PAC-RET), zero value means disable PAC-RET.
* "sign-return-address-all", with non-zero value means enable PAC-RET
for all functions, zero value means enable PAC-RET only for
functions, which spill LR.
* "sign-return-address-with-bkey", with non-zero value means use B-key
for signing, zero value mean use A-key.
This set of attributes are always added for AArch64 targets (as
opposed, for example, to interpreting a missing attribute as having a
value 0) in order to be able to check for conflicts when combining
module attributed during LTO.
Module-level attributes are overridden by function level attributes.
All the decision making about whether to not to generate PAC and/or
BTI code is factored out into AArch64FunctionInfo, there shouldn't be
any places left, other than AArch64FunctionInfo, which directly
examine PAC/BTI attributes, except AArch64AsmPrinter.cpp, which
is/will-be handled by a separate patch.

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.
