Summary:
Reapply r357931 with fixes to ThinLTO testcases and llvm-lto tool.
ThinLTOCodeGenerator currently does not preserve llvm.used symbols and
it can internalize them. In order to pass the necessary information to the
legacy ThinLTOCodeGenerator, the input to the code generator is
rewritten to be based on lto::InputFile.
Now ThinLTO using the legacy LTO API will requires data layout in
Module.
"internalize" thinlto action in llvm-lto is updated to run both
"promote" and "internalize" with the same configuration as
ThinLTOCodeGenerator. The old "promote" + "internalize" option does not
produce the same output as ThinLTOCodeGenerator.

This help to streamline the process of handling importing since
we don't need to special case alias everywhere: just like
linkonce_odr function, make sure at least one alias is emitted
by turning it weak.
