Joseph Huber 141c4e7a94 [OpenMP] Do not always emit unused extern variables
Currently, the precense of the OpenMP target declare metadata requires
that we always codegen a global declaration. This is undesirable in the
case that we could defer or omit this declaration as is common with
unused extern variables. This is important as it allows us, in the
runtime, to rely on static linking semantics to omit unused symbols so
they are not included when the user links it in.

This patch changes the check for always emitting these variables.
Because of this we also need to extend this logic to the generation of
the offloading entries. This has the result of derring the offload entry
generation to the canonical definitoin. So we are effectively assuming
whoever owns the storage for this variable will perform that operation.
This makes an exception for `link` attributes as those require their own
special handling.

Let me know if this is sound in the implementation, I do not have the
largest view of the standards here.

    README for the LLVM* OpenMP* Offloading Runtime Library (libomptarget)
    ======================================================================

How to Build the LLVM* OpenMP* Offloading Runtime Library (libomptarget)
========================================================================
In-tree build:

$ cd where-you-want-to-live
Check out openmp (libomptarget lives under ./libomptarget) into llvm/projects
$ cd where-you-want-to-build
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake path/to/llvm -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=<C compiler> -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=<C++ compiler>
$ make omptarget

Out-of-tree build:

$ cd where-you-want-to-live
Check out openmp (libomptarget lives under ./libomptarget)
$ cd where-you-want-to-live/openmp/libomptarget
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake path/to/openmp -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=<C compiler> -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=<C++ compiler>
$ make

For details about building, please look at README.rst in the parent directory.

Architectures Supported
=======================
The current library has been only tested in Linux operating system and the
following host architectures:
* Intel(R) 64 architecture
* IBM(R) Power architecture (big endian)
* IBM(R) Power architecture (little endian)
* ARM(R) AArch64 architecture (little endian)

The currently supported offloading device architectures are:
* Intel(R) 64 architecture (generic 64-bit plugin - mostly for testing purposes)
* IBM(R) Power architecture (big endian) (generic 64-bit plugin - mostly for testing purposes)
* IBM(R) Power architecture (little endian) (generic 64-bit plugin - mostly for testing purposes)
* ARM(R) AArch64 architecture (little endian) (generic 64-bit plugin - mostly for testing purposes)
* CUDA(R) enabled 64-bit NVIDIA(R) GPU architectures

Front-end Compilers that work with this RTL
===========================================

The following compilers are known to do compatible code generation for
this RTL:
  - clang (from https://github.com/clang-ykt )
  - clang (development branch at http://clang.llvm.org - several features still
    under development)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Notices
=======
This library and related compiler support is still under development, so the
employed interface is likely to change in the future.
