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.
Summary:
Due to a recent (but retroactive) C++ rule change, only sufficiently
C-compatible classes are permitted to be given a typedef name for
linkage purposes. Add an enabled-by-default warning for these cases, and
rephrase our existing error for the case where we encounter the typedef
name for linkage after we've already computed and used a wrong linkage
in terms of the new rule.

Currently we emit DeferredDeclsToEmit in reverse order. This patch changes that.
The advantages of the change are that
* The output order is a bit closer to the source order. The change to
test/CodeGenCXX/pod-member-memcpys.cpp is a good example.
* If we decide to deffer more, it will not cause as large changes in the
estcases as it would without this patch.

variables.
There's a very deep problem here where the linkage of
a declaration can suddenly massively change as soon as
it's given a typedef name; these fixes, while optimizations
in their own right, are really just targeted workarounds.

I was forced to change test/SemaCXX/linkage.cpp because we aren't actually modeling extern "C" in the AST the way that testcase expects; we were not printing a warning only because we skipped the relevant check. Someone who actually understands the semantics here should fix that.

I tried to add test cases for these, but I can't because variables
aren't warned on the way functions are and the codegen layer appears to
use different logic for determining that 'a' and 'g' in the test case
should receive C mangling. I've included the test so that if we ever
switch the codegen layer to use these functions, we won't regress due to
latent bugs.

the operative rule there is weaker. Fixes rdar://problem/8898466
