This patch causes RuntimeDyld to check for existing definitions when it
encounters weak symbols. If a definition already exists then the new weak
definition is discarded. All symbol lookups within a "logical dylib" should now
agree on the address of any given weak symbol. This allows the JIT to better
match the behavior of the static linker for C++ code.
This support is only partial, as it does not allow strong definitions that
occur after the first weak definition (in JIT symbol lookup order) to override
the previous weak definitions. Support for this will be added in a future
patch.

The personality routine currently lives in the LandingPadInst.
This isn't desirable because:
- All LandingPadInsts in the same function must have the same
personality routine. This means that each LandingPadInst beyond the
first has an operand which produces no additional information.
- There is ongoing work to introduce EH IR constructs other than
LandingPadInst. Moving the personality routine off of any one
particular Instruction and onto the parent function seems a lot better
than have N different places a personality function can sneak onto an
exceptional function.
