In order to make comdats always explicit in the IR, we decided to make
the syntax a bit more compact for the case of a GlobalObject in a
comdat with the same name.
Just dropping the $name causes problems for
@foo = globabl i32 0, comdat
$bar = comdat ...
and
declare void @foo() comdat
$bar = comdat ...
So the syntax is changed to
@g1 = globabl i32 0, comdat($c1)
@g2 = globabl i32 0, comdat
and
declare void @foo() comdat($c1)
declare void @foo() comdat

This is just testing the largest merge mode for comdats. No need to use
hard to read names and fancy types.

This new IR facility allows us to represent the object-file semantic of
a COMDAT group.
COMDATs allow us to tie together sections and make the inclusion of one
dependent on another. This is required to implement features like MS
ABI VFTables and optimizing away certain kinds of initialization in C++.
This functionality is only representable in COFF and ELF, Mach-O has no
similar mechanism.
