Improve and enable folding of conditional branches with tail calls.
1. Make it so that conditional tail calls can be emitted even when
there are multiple predecessors.
2. Don't guard the transformation behind -Os. The rationale for
guarding it was static-prediction can be affected by whether the
branch is forward of backward. This is no longer true for almost any
X86 cpus (anything newer than `SnB`) so is no longer a meaningful
concern.

Test updates were performed using:
https://gist.github.com/nikic/98357b71fd67756b0f064c9517b62a34
These are only the test updates where the test passed without
further modification (which is almost all of them, as the backend
is largely pointer-type agnostic).
Summary:
A COFF stub indirects the reference to a symbol through memory. A
.refptr.$sym global variable pointer is created to refer to $sym.
Typically mingw uses these for external global variable declarations,
but we can use them for weak function declarations as well.
Updates the dso_local classification to add a special case for
extern_weak symbols on COFF in both clang and LLVM.

See r230786 and r230794 for similar changes to gep and load
respectively.
Call is a bit different because it often doesn't have a single explicit
type - usually the type is deduced from the arguments, and just the
return type is explicit. In those cases there's no need to change the
IR.
When that's not the case, the IR usually contains the pointer type of
the first operand - but since typed pointers are going away, that
representation is insufficient so I'm just stripping the "pointerness"
of the explicit type away.
This does make the IR a bit weird - it /sort of/ reads like the type of
the first operand: "call void () %x(" but %x is actually of type "void
()*" and will eventually be just of type "ptr". But this seems not too
bad and I don't think it would benefit from repeating the type
("void (), void () * %x(" and then eventually "void (), ptr %x(") as has
been done with gep and load.
This also has a side benefit: since the explicit type is no longer a
pointer, there's no ambiguity between an explicit type and a function
that returns a function pointer. Previously this case needed an explicit
type (eg: a function returning a void() function was written as
"call void () () * @x(" rather than "call void () * @x(" because of the
ambiguity between a function returning a pointer to a void() function
and a function returning void).
No ambiguity means even function pointer return types can just be
written alone, without writing the whole function's type.
This leaves /only/ the varargs case where the explicit type is required.
Given the special type syntax in call instructions, the regex-fu used
for migration was a bit more involved in its own unique way (as every
one of these is) so here it is. Use it in conjunction with the apply.sh
script and associated find/xargs commands I've provided in rr230786 to
migrate your out of tree tests. Do let me know if any of this doesn't
cover your cases & we can iterate on a more general script/regexes to
help others with out of tree tests.
About 9 test cases couldn't be automatically migrated - half of those
were functions returning function pointers, where I just had to manually
delete the function argument types now that we didn't need an explicit
function type there. The other half were typedefs of function types used
in calls - just had to manually drop the * from those.
