GlobalDCE deletes global vars and updates their initializers to nullptr
while leaving underlying constants to be cleaned up later by its uses.
The clean up may never happen, fix this by forcing it every time it's
safe to destroy constants.

This requires a number of steps.
1) Move value_use_iterator into the Value class as an implementation
detail
2) Change it to actually be a *Use* iterator rather than a *User*
iterator.
3) Add an adaptor which is a User iterator that always looks through the
Use to the User.
4) Wrap these in Value::use_iterator and Value::user_iterator typedefs.
5) Add the range adaptors as Value::uses() and Value::users().
6) Update *all* of the callers to correctly distinguish between whether
they wanted a use_iterator (and to explicitly dig out the User when
needed), or a user_iterator which makes the Use itself totally
opaque.
Because #6 requires churning essentially everything that walked the
Use-Def chains, I went ahead and added all of the range adaptors and
switched them to range-based loops where appropriate. Also because the
renaming requires at least churning every line of code, it didn't make
any sense to split these up into multiple commits -- all of which would
touch all of the same lies of code.
The result is still not quite optimal. The Value::use_iterator is a nice
regular iterator, but Value::user_iterator is an iterator over User*s
rather than over the User objects themselves. As a consequence, it fits
a bit awkwardly into the range-based world and it has the weird
extra-dereferencing 'operator->' that so many of our iterators have.
I think this could be fixed by providing something which transforms
a range of T&s into a range of T*s, but that *can* be separated into
another patch, and it isn't yet 100% clear whether this is the right
move.
However, this change gets us most of the benefit and cleans up
a substantial amount of code around Use and User. =]

This patch teaches GlobalStatus to analyze a call that uses the global value as
a callee, not as an argument.
With this change internalize call handle the common use of linkonce_odr
functions. This reduces the number of linkonce_odr functions in a LTO build of
clang (checked with the emit-llvm gold plugin option) from 1730 to 60.

When a linkonce_odr value that is on the dso list is not unnamed_addr
we can still look to see if anything is actually using its address. If
not, it is safe to hide it.
This patch implements that by moving GlobalStatus to Transforms/Utils
and using it in Internalize.
