Objective-C metadata types which should be marked as "weak", but which the
linker will remove upon final linkage. However, this linkage isn't specific to
Objective-C.
For example, the "objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc" symbol is defined like this:
.globl l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc
.weak_definition l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc
.section __DATA, __objc_msgrefs, coalesced
.align 3
l_objc_msgSend_fixup_alloc:
.quad _objc_msgSend_fixup
.quad L_OBJC_METH_VAR_NAME_1
This is different from the "linker_private" linkage type, because it can't have
the metadata defined with ".weak_definition".
Currently only supported on Darwin platforms.

Modules and ModuleProviders. Because the "ModuleProvider" simply materializes
GlobalValues now, and doesn't provide modules, it's renamed to
"GVMaterializer". Code that used to need a ModuleProvider to materialize
Functions can now materialize the Functions directly. Functions no longer use a
magic linkage to record that they're materializable; they simply ask the
GVMaterializer.
Because the C ABI must never change, we can't remove LLVMModuleProviderRef or
the functions that refer to it. Instead, because Module now exposes the same
functionality ModuleProvider used to, we store a Module* in any
LLVMModuleProviderRef and translate in the wrapper methods. The bindings to
other languages still use the ModuleProvider concept. It would probably be
worth some time to update them to follow the C++ more closely, but I don't
intend to do it.

"private" symbols which the assember shouldn't strip, but which the linker may
remove after evaluation. This is mostly useful for Objective-C metadata.
This is plumbing, so we don't have a use of it yet. More to come, etc.

lets us continue to maintain some concurrency.

and involves passing a boolean "locked" parameter around in Constants.cpp, but it's better than having locked and
unlocked versions of most of the code.

linkage: this linkage type only applies to declarations,
but ODR is only relevant to globals with definitions.

and extern_weak_odr. These are the same as the non-odr versions,
except that they indicate that the global will only be overridden
by an *equivalent* global. In C, a function with weak linkage can
be overridden by a function which behaves completely differently.
This means that IP passes have to skip weak functions, since any
deductions made from the function definition might be wrong, since
the definition could be replaced by something completely different
at link time. This is not allowed in C++, thanks to the ODR
(One-Definition-Rule): if a function is replaced by another at
link-time, then the new function must be the same as the original
function. If a language knows that a function or other global can
only be overridden by an equivalent global, it can give it the
weak_odr linkage type, and the optimizers will understand that it
is alright to make deductions based on the function body. The
code generators on the other hand map weak and weak_odr linkage
to the same thing.

the section or the visibility from one global
value to another: copyAttributesFrom. This is
particularly useful for duplicating functions:
previously this was done by explicitly copying
each attribute in turn at each place where a
new function was created out of an old one, with
the result that obscure attributes were regularly
forgotten (like the collector or the section).
Hopefully now everything is uniform and nothing
is forgotten.

in some cases on Darwin, so we need both. The intent
is that "common" will behave identically to "weak" unless
somebody changes their target to do something else.
No functional change as yet.

bytes, Function from 88->76, and GlobalVariable from 76->68. This trims

This implements Transforms/GlobalOpt/constantexpr-dangle.ll by deleting a
