Implement a demangleable strong ownership symbol mangling.
* The original module symbol mangling scheme turned out to be
undemangleable.
* The hoped-for C++17 compatibility of weak ownership turns out to be
fragile
* C++20 now has better ways of controlling C++17 compatibility
The issue is captured on the ABI list at:
https://github.com/itanium-cxx-abi/cxx-abi/issues/134
GCC implements this new mangling.
The old mangling is unceremoniously dropped. No backwards
compatibility, no deprectated old-mangling flag. It was always
labelled experimental. (Old and new manglings cannot be confused.)

The existing module symbol mangling scheme turns out to be
undemangleable. It is also desirable to switch to the
strong-ownership model as the hoped-for C++17 compatibility turns out
to be fragile, and we also now have a better way of controlling that.

This patch is the code-generation part. I have a demangler too, but
that patch is based on some to-be-landed refactoring of the demangler.

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 `{{.*}} `.
This follows the scheme agreed with Nathan Sidwell, which can be found here:

This will be proposed to the itanium-cxx-abi list once we have some experience
with how well it works; the ABI for this TS should be considered unstable until
it is part of the Itanium C++ ABI.
