For a default visibility external linkage definition, dso_local is set for ELF
-fno-pic/-fpie and COFF and Mach-O. Since default clang -cc1 for ELF is similar
to -fpic ("PIC Level" is not set), this nuance causes unneeded binary format differences.
To make emitted IR similar, ELF -cc1 -fpic will default to -fno-semantic-interposition,
which sets dso_local for default visibility external linkage definitions.
To make this flip smooth and enable future (dso_local as definition default),
this patch replaces (function) `define ` with `define{{.*}} `,
(variable/constant/alias) `= ` with `={{.*}} `, or inserts appropriate `{{.*}} `.
Functions can have local pragmas that override the global settings.
We set the flags eagerly based on global settings, but if we emit
an expression under the influence of a pragma, we clear the
appropriate flags from the function.
In order to avoid doing a ton of redundant work whenever we emit
an FP expression, configure the IRBuilder to default to global
settings, and only reconfigure it when we see an FP expression
that's not using the global settings.
