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 `{{.*}} `.

initialization a little smarter.
Look through casts that preserve zero-ness when determining if an
initializer is zero, so that we can handle cases like an {0} initializer
whose corresponding field is a type other than 'int'.
If we're going to assume references are dereferenceable, we should also
assume they're aligned: otherwise, we can't actually dereference them.

Summary:
Clang -fpic defaults to -fno-semantic-interposition (GCC -fpic defaults
to -fsemantic-interposition).
Users need to specify -fsemantic-interposition to get semantic
interposition behavior.
Semantic interposition is currently a best-effort feature. There may
still be some cases where it is not handled well.

more reliably.
Clang has two different ways it emits array constants (from InitListExprs and
from APValues), and both had some ability to emit zeroinitializer, but neither
was able to catch all cases where we could use zeroinitializer reliably. In
particular, emitting from an APValue would fail to notice if all the explicit
array elements happened to be zero. In addition, for large arrays where only an
initial portion has an explicit initializer, we would emit the complete
initializer (which could be huge) rather than emitting only the non-zero
portion. With this change, when the element would have a suffix of more than 8
zero elements, we emit the array constant as a packed struct of its initial
portion followed by a zeroinitializer constant for the trailing zero portion.
In passing, I found a bug where SemaInit would sometimes walk the entire array
when checking an initializer that only covers the first few elements; that's
fixed here to unblock testing of the rest.

If a variable has an initializer, codegen tries to build its value. If
the variable is large in size, building its value requires substantial
resources. It causes strange behavior from user viewpoint: compilation
of huge zero initialized arrays like:
char data_1[2147483648u] = { 0 };
consumes enormous amount of time and memory.
With this change codegen tries to determine if variable initializer is
equivalent to zero initializer. In this case variable value is not
constructed.
This change fixes PR18978.

Because references must be initialized using some evaluated expression, they
must point to something, and a callee can assume the reference parameter is
dereferenceable. Taking advantage of a new attribute just added to LLVM, mark
them as such.
Because dereferenceability in addrspace(0) implies nonnull in the backend, we
don't need both attributes. However, we need to know the size of the object to
use the dereferenceable attribute, so for incomplete types we still emit only
nonnull.
