WinCOFF: Emit common symbols as specified in the COFF spec

Summary:
Local common symbols were properly inserted into the .bss section.
However, putting external common symbols in the .bss section would give
them a strong definition.

Instead, encode them as undefined, external symbols who's symbol value
is equivalent to their size.
