Use a combination of !associated, comdat, @llvm.compiler.used and
custom sections to allow dead stripping of globals and their asan
metadata. Sometimes.
Currently this works on LLD, which supports SHF_LINK_ORDER with
sh_link pointing to the associated section.
This also works on BFD, which seems to treat comdats as
all-or-nothing with respect to linker GC. There is a weird quirk
where the "first" global in each link is never GC-ed because of the
section symbols.
At this moment it does not work on Gold (as in the globals are never
stripped).

Such edges may otherwise result in infinite recursion if a pointer to a vtable
is reachable from the vtable itself. This can happen in practice if a TU
defines the ABI types used to implement RTTI, and is itself compiled with RTTI.
Fixes PR32121.

This module will contain nothing but vtable definitions and (soon)
available_externally function definitions, so there is no point in keeping
debug info in the module.

This pass prepares a module containing type metadata for ThinLTO by splitting
it into regular and thin LTO parts if possible, and writing both parts to
a multi-module bitcode file. Modules that do not contain type metadata are
written unmodified as a single module.
All globals with type metadata are added to the regular LTO module, and
the rest are added to the thin LTO module.
