In ELF and COFF an alias is just another offset in a section. There is no way
to represent an alias to something in another file.
In MachO, the spec has the N_INDR type which should allow for exactly that, but
is not currently implemented. Given that it is specified but not implemented,
we error in codegen to avoid miscompiling but don't reject aliases to
declarations in the verifier to leave the option open of implementing it.
In the past we have used alias to declarations as a way of implementing
weakref, which is why it exists in some old tests which this patch updates.

This was done with the following sed invocation to catch label lines demarking function boundaries:
sed -i '' "s/^;\( *\)\([A-Z0-9_]*\):\( *\)test\([A-Za-z0-9_-]*\):\( *\)$/;\1\2-LABEL:\3test\4:\5/g" test/CodeGen/*/*.ll
which was written conservatively to avoid false positives rather than false negatives. I scanned through all the changes and everything looks correct.

Large code model is identical to medium code model except that the
addis/addi sequence for "local" accesses is never used. All accesses
use the addis/ld sequence.
The coding changes are straightforward; most of the patch is taken up
with creating variants of the medium model tests for large model.

code generation. Variables addressed through a GlobalAlias were not being
handled, and variables with available_externally linkage were treated
incorrectly. The patch contains two new tests to verify the correct code
generation for these cases.
