a gold binary explicitly. Substitute this binary into the tests rather
than just directly executing the 'ld' binary.
This should allow folks to inject a cross compiling gold binary, or in
my case to use a gold binary built and installed somewhere other than
/usr/bin/ld. It should also allow the tests to find 'ld.gold' so that
things work even if gold isn't the default on the system.
I've only stubbed out support in the makefile to preserve the existing
behavior with none of the fancy logic. If someone else wants to add
logic here, they're welcome to do so.

In order to make comdats always explicit in the IR, we decided to make
the syntax a bit more compact for the case of a GlobalObject in a
comdat with the same name.
Just dropping the $name causes problems for
@foo = globabl i32 0, comdat
$bar = comdat ...
and
declare void @foo() comdat
$bar = comdat ...
So the syntax is changed to
@g1 = globabl i32 0, comdat($c1)
@g2 = globabl i32 0, comdat
and
declare void @foo() comdat($c1)
declare void @foo() comdat

The call to copyAttributesFrom will copy the visibility, which might assert
if it were to produce something invalid like "internal hidden". We avoid it
by first creating the replacement with the original linkage and then setting
it to internal affter the call to copyAttributesFrom.

When creating an internal function replacement for use in an alias we were
not remapping the argument uses in the instructions to point to the new
arguments.

There are two parts to this. First, the plugin needs to tell gold the comdat by
setting comdat_key.
What gets things a bit more complicated is that gold only seems
symbols. In particular, if A is an alias to B, it only sees the symbols
A and B. It can then ask us to keep symbol A but drop symbol B. What
we have to do instead is to create an internal version of B and make A
an alias to that.
At some point some of this logic should be moved to lib/Linker so that
we don't map a Constant to an internal version just to have lib/Linker
map that again to the destination module.
The reason for implementing this in tools/gold for now is simplicity.
With it in place it should be possible to update clang to use comdats
for constructors and destructors on ELF without breaking the LTO
bootstrap. Once that is done I intend to come back and improve the
interface lib/Linker exposes.
