- ``externally_initialized`` variables would be initialized or modified
elsewhere. Particularly, CUDA or HIP may have host code to initialize
or modify ``externally_initialized`` device variables, which may not
be explicitly referenced on the device side but may still be used
through the host side interfaces. Not preserving them triggers the
elimination of them in the GlobalDCE and breaks the user code.

variables emitted on both host and device side with different addresses
when ODR-used by host function should not cause device side counter-part
to be force emitted.

Currently clang does not emit device template variables
instantiated only in host functions, however, nvcc is
able to do that:
https://godbolt.org/z/fneEfferY
This patch fixes this issue by refactoring and extending
the existing mechanism for emitting static device
var ODR-used by host only. Basically clang records
device variables ODR-used by host code and force
them to be emitted in device compilation. The existing
mechanism makes sure these device variables ODR-used
by host code are added to llvm.compiler-used, therefore
they are guaranteed not to be deleted.
It also fixes non-ODR-use of static device variable by host code
causing static device variable to be emitted and registered,
which should not.

Add device variables to llvm.compiler.used if they are
ODR-used by either host or device functions.
This is necessary to prevent them from being
eliminated by whole-program optimization
where the compiler has no way to know a device
variable is used by some host code.
