For a definition (of most linkage types), dso_local is set for ELF -fno-pic/-fpie
and COFF, but not for Mach-O. This nuance causes unneeded binary format differences.
This patch replaces (function) `define ` with `define{{.*}} `,
(variable/constant/alias) `= ` with `={{.*}} `, or inserts appropriate `{{.*}} `
if there is an explicit linkage.
* Clang will set dso_local for Mach-O, which is currently implied by TargetMachine.cpp. This will make COFF/Mach-O and executable ELF similar.
* Eventually I hope we can make dso_local the textual LLVM IR default (write explicit "dso_preemptable" when applicable) and -fpic ELF will be similar to everything else. This patch helps move toward that goal.
dynamic classes in the translation unit and check whether each one's key
function is defined when we got to the end of the TU (and when we got to the
end of each module). This is really terrible for modules performance, since it
causes unnecessary deserialization of every dynamic class in every compilation.
We now use a much simpler (and, in a modules build, vastly more efficient)
system: when we see an out-of-line definition of a virtual function, we check
whether that function was in fact its class's key function. (If so, we need to
emit the vtable.)

By C++ standard, the vtable should be generated if the first non-inline
virtual function is defined in the TU. Current version of clang doesn't
generate vtable if the first virtual function is defaulted, because the
key function is regarded as the defaulted function.
