If an otherwise weak var is actually defined in this unit, it can't be
undefined at runtime so we can use normal global variable sequences (ADRP/ADD)
to access it.

This implements the review suggestion to simplify the AArch64 backend. If we
later discover that we *really* need the extra complexity of the

Weakly defined symbols should evaluate to 0 if they're undefined at
link-time. This is impossible to do with the usual address generation
patterns, so we should use a literal pool entry to materlialise the
address.
