Itay Bookstein 08ed216000 [IR] Refactor GlobalIFunc to inherit from GlobalObject, Remove GlobalIndirectSymbol
As discussed in:
* https://reviews.llvm.org/D94166
* https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2020-September/145031.html

The GlobalIndirectSymbol class lost most of its meaning in
https://reviews.llvm.org/D109792, which disambiguated getBaseObject
(now getAliaseeObject) between GlobalIFunc and everything else.
In addition, as long as GlobalIFunc is not a GlobalObject and
getAliaseeObject returns GlobalObjects, a GlobalAlias whose aliasee
is a GlobalIFunc cannot currently be modeled properly. Creating
aliases for GlobalIFuncs does happen in the wild (e.g. glibc). In addition,
calling getAliaseeObject on a GlobalIFunc will currently return nullptr,
which is undesirable because it should return the object itself for
non-aliases.

This patch refactors the GlobalIFunc class to inherit directly from
GlobalObject, and removes GlobalIndirectSymbol (while inlining the
relevant parts into GlobalAlias and GlobalIFunc). This allows for
calling getAliaseeObject() on a GlobalIFunc to return the GlobalIFunc
itself, making getAliaseeObject() more consistent and enabling
alias-to-ifunc to be properly modeled in the IR.

I exercised some judgement in the API clients of GlobalIndirectSymbol:
some were 'monomorphized' for GlobalAlias and GlobalIFunc, and
some remained shared (with the type adapted to become GlobalValue).
