dso_local leads to direct access even if the definition is not within this compilation unit (it is
still in the same linkage unit). On ELF, such a relocation (e.g. R_X86_64_PC32) referencing a
STB_GLOBAL STV_DEFAULT object can cause a linker error in a -shared link.
If the linkage is changed to available_externally, the dso_local flag should be dropped, so that no
direct access will be generated.
The current behavior is benign, because -fpic does not assume dso_local
(clang/lib/CodeGen/CodeGenModule.cpp:shouldAssumeDSOLocal).
If we do that for -fno-semantic-interposition (D73865), there will be an
R_X86_64_PC32 linker error without this patch.

Summary:
Records in the module summary index whether the bitcode was compiled
with the option necessary to enable splitting the LTO unit
(e.g. -fsanitize=cfi, -fwhole-program-vtables, or -fsplit-lto-unit).
The information is passed down to the ModuleSummaryIndex builder via a
new module flag "EnableSplitLTOUnit", which is propagated onto a flag
on the summary index.
This is then used during the LTO link to check whether all linked
summaries were built with the same value of this flag. If not, an error
is issued when we detect a situation requiring whole program visibility
of the class hierarchy. This is the case when both of the following
conditions are met:
1) We are performing LowerTypeTests or Whole Program Devirtualization.
2) There are type tests or type checked loads in the code.
Note I have also changed the ThinLTOBitcodeWriter to also gate the
module splitting on the value of this flag.

Summary:
The LTO/ThinLTO driver currently creates invalid bitcode by setting
symbols marked dllimport as dso_local. The compiler often has access
to the definition (often dllexport) and the declaration (often
dllimport) of an object at link-time, leading to a conflicting
declaration. This patch resolves the inconsistency by removing the
dllimport attribute.
