Summary:
Local common symbols were properly inserted into the .bss section.
However, putting external common symbols in the .bss section would give
them a strong definition.
Instead, encode them as undefined, external symbols who's symbol value
is equivalent to their size.

These should not use COMDATs. GNU as uses .bss for .lcomm and section 0 for
.comm.
Given
static int a;
int b;
MSVC puts both in .bss. This patch then puts both .comm and .lcomm on .bss. With
this change we agree with gas on .lcomm, are much closer on .comm and clang-cl
matches msvc on the above example.
