IR: Allow comdats to be applied to globals with internal linkage

Our verifier check for checking if a global has local linkage was too
strict.  Forbid private linkage but permit local linkage.

Object file formats permit this and forbidding it prevents elimination
of unused, internal, vftables under the MSVC ABI.
