We used to disable constant merging not only if a constant is llvm.used, but
also if an alias of a constant is llvm.used. This change fixes that.

This fixes the original testcase in PR8927. It also causes a clang
binary built with a patched clang to increase in size by 0.21%.
We can probably get some of the size back by writing a pass that
detects that a global never has its pointer compared and adds
unnamed_addr to it (maybe extend global opt). It is also possible that
there are some other cases clang could add unnamed_addr to.
I will investigate extending globalopt next.
