For a definition (of most linkage types), dso_local is set for ELF -fno-pic/-fpie
and COFF, but not for Mach-O. This nuance causes unneeded binary format differences.
This patch replaces (function) `define ` with `define{{.*}} `,
(variable/constant/alias) `= ` with `={{.*}} `, or inserts appropriate `{{.*}} `
if there is an explicit linkage.
* Clang will set dso_local for Mach-O, which is currently implied by TargetMachine.cpp. This will make COFF/Mach-O and executable ELF similar.
* Eventually I hope we can make dso_local the textual LLVM IR default (write explicit "dso_preemptable" when applicable) and -fpic ELF will be similar to everything else. This patch helps move toward that goal.
arguments.
* Adds 'nonnull' and 'dereferenceable(N)' to 'this' pointer arguments
* Gates 'nonnull' on -f(no-)delete-null-pointer-checks
* Introduces this-nonnull.cpp and microsoft-abi-this-nullable.cpp tests to
explicitly test the behavior of this change
* Refactors hundreds of over-constrained clang tests to permit these
attributes, where needed
* Updates Clang12 patch notes mentioning this change

Amongst other, this will help LTO to correctly handle/honor files
compiled with O0, helping debugging failures.
It also seems in line with how we handle other options, like how
-fnoinline adds the appropriate attribute as well.

In a future change, this representation will allow us to use the new inrange
annotation on getelementptr to allow the optimizer to split vtable groups.

I broke this locally while working on PR20337 and no test caught that. Now
there's coverage for this, and a comment explaining why this is needed.
