This patch restricts the behaviour of referencing via .Lfoo$local
local aliases, introduced in https://reviews.llvm.org/D73230, to
STV_DEFAULT globals only.
Hidden symbols via --fvisiblity=hidden (https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility)
is an important scenario.
Benefits:
- Improves the size of object files by using fewer STT_SECTION symbols.
- The code reads a bit better (it was not obvious to me without going
back to the code reviews why the canBenefitFromLocalAlias function
currently doesn't consider visibility).
- There is also a side benefit in restoring the effectiveness of the
--wrap linker option and making the behavior of --wrap consistent
between LTO and normal builds for references within a translation-unit.
Note: this --wrap behavior (which is specific to LLD) should not be
considered reliable. See comments on https://reviews.llvm.org/D73230
for more.

For a MC_GlobalAddress reference to a dso_local external GlobalValue with a definition, emit .Lfoo$local to avoid a relocation.
-fno-pic and -fpie can infer dso_local but -fpic cannot. In the future,
we can explore the possibility of inferring dso_local with -fpic. As the
description of D73228 says, LLVM's existing IPO optimization behaviors
(like -fno-semantic-interposition) and a previous assembly behavior give
us enough license to be aggressive here.

For x86 targets, do not do sibling call optimization when materializing
the callee's address would require a GOT relocation. We can still do
tail calls to internal functions, hidden functions, and protected
functions, because they do not require this kind of relocation. It is
still possible to get GOT relocations when the user explicitly asks for
it with musttail or -tailcallopt, both of which are supposed to
guarantee TCO.
