f5d17528ee Module: Don't rename in getOrInsertFunction()
During LTO, user-supplied definitions of C library functions often
exist.  -instcombine uses Module::getOrInsertFunction() to get a handle
on library functions (e.g., @puts, when optimizing @printf).

Previously, Module::getOrInsertFunction() would rename any matching
functions with local linkage, and create a new declaration.  In LTO,
this is the opposite of desired behaviour, as it skips by the
user-supplied version of the library function and creates a new
undefined reference which the linker often cannot resolve.

After some discussing with Rafael on the list, it looks like it's
undesired behaviour.  If a consumer actually *needs* this behaviour, we
should add new API with a more explicit name.

I added two testcases: one specifically for the -instcombine behaviour
and one for the LTO flow.
