While this does not matter for most targets, when building for Arm Morello,
we have to mark the symbol as a function and add size information, so that
LLD can correctly evaluate relocations against the local symbol.
Since Morello is an out-of-tree target, I tried to reproduce this with
in-tree backends and with the previous reviews applied this results in
a noticeable difference when targeting Thumb.
Background: Morello uses a method similar Thumb where the encoding mode is
specified in the LSB of the symbol. If we don't mark the target as a
function, the relocation will not have the LSB set and calls will end up
using the wrong encoding mode (which will almost certainly crash).

With this change, we can set dso_local in clang's -fpic -fno-semantic-interposition mode,
for default visibility external linkage non-ifunc-non-COMDAT definitions.
For such dso_local definitions, variable access/taking the address of a
function/calling a function will go through a local alias to avoid GOT/PLT.
Note: the 'S' inline assembly constraint refers to an absolute symbolic address
or a label reference (D46745).
