Summary:
Since IR files are all compiled into separate independent object files
in ThinLTO mode, the prevailing linkonce symbols must be emitted in its
object file even if it is no longer referenced there, e.g. if no
references remain in the module after inlining, since it may be
referenced by another ThinLTO compiled object file. This is done by
changing LDPR_PREVAILING_DEF_IRONLY* symbols to LDPR_PREVAILING_DEF,
which converts the prevailing linkonce to weak. We also don't need the
other prevailing IRONLY handling for internalization, which is not
currently performed for ThinLTO.
Test case included.
