Always read bitcode according to the -opaque-pointers mode. Do not
perform auto-detection to implicitly switch to typed pointers.
This is a step towards removing typed pointer support, and also
eliminates the class of problems where linking may fail if a typed
pointer module is loaded before an opaque pointer module. (The
latest place where this was encountered is D139924, but this has
previously been fixed in other places doing bitcode linking as well.)

Verify that the resolver exists, that it is a defined
Function, and that its return type matches the ifunc's
type. Add corresponding check to BitcodeReader, change
clang to emit the correct type, and fix tests to comply.

This is similar to r322317, but for visibility. It is not as neat
because we have to special case extern_weak.
The idea is the same as the previous change, make the transition to
explicit dso_local easier for the frontends. With this they only have
to add dso_local to symbols where we need some external information to
decide if it is dso_local (like it being part of an ELF executable).

Currently we do not represent runtime preemption in the IR, which has several
drawbacks:
1) The semantics of GlobalValues differ depending on the object file format
you are targeting (as well as the relocation-model and -fPIE value).
2) We have no way of disabling inlining of run time interposable functions,
since in the IR we only know if a function is link-time interposable.
Because of this llvm cannot support elf-interposition semantics.
3) In LTO builds of executables we will have extra knowledge that a symbol
resolved to a local definition and can't be preemptable, but have no way to
propagate that knowledge through the compiler.
This patch adds preemptability specifiers to the IR with the following meaning:
dso_local --> means the compiler may assume the symbol will resolve to a
definition within the current linkage unit and the symbol may be accessed
directly even if the definition is not within this compilation unit.
dso_preemptable --> means that the compiler must assume the GlobalValue may be
replaced with a definition from outside the current linkage unit at runtime.
To ease transitioning dso_preemptable is treated as a 'default' in that
low-level codegen will still do the same checks it did previously to see if a
symbol should be accessed indirectly. Eventually when IR producers emit the
specifiers on all Globalvalues we can change dso_preemptable to mean 'always
access indirectly', and remove the current logic.
