On AIX, for undefined functions, only the dotnamed symbols (the address
of the function) are generated after linking (i.e., no named function
symbol is generated).
Currently, all alias symbols are added as defined data symbols when
parsing symbols in LTOModule (the Link Time Optimization library used by
linker to optimization code at link time). On AIX, if the function alias
is used in the native object, and only its dotnamed symbol is generated,
the linker will have problem to match the dotnamed symbol from the
native object and the defined symbol marked as data from the bitcode at
LTO linktime.
This patch is to add function alias as function instead of data.
This is a follow-up to b71edfaa4ec3c998aadb35255ce2f60bba2940b0
since I forgot the lit.local.cfg files in that one.
Reformatting is done with `black`.
If you end up having problems merging this commit because you
have made changes to a python file, the best way to handle that
is to run git checkout --ours <yourfile> and then reformat it
with black.
If you run into any problems, post to discourse about it and
we will try to help.

This patch changes legacy LTO to set data-sections by default. The user can
explicitly unset data-sections. The reason for this patch is to match the
behaviour of lld and gold plugin. Both lld and gold plugin have data-sections on
by default.
This patch also fixes the forwarding of the clang options -fno-data-sections and
-fno-function-sections to libLTO. Now, when -fno-data/function-sections are
specified in clang, -data/function-sections=0 will be passed to libLTO to
explicitly unset data/function-sections.
